$A$ cell is connected to a potentiometer, and the balance point is obtained at a length of $2 \, m$. When a resistance of $5 \, \Omega$ is connected in parallel with the cell, the balance point is obtained at a length of $3 \, m$. What is the internal resistance of the cell in $\Omega$?

In a potentiometer, the area of cross-section of the wire is $4 \, cm^2$, the current flowing in the circuit is $1 \, A$ and the potential gradient is $7.5 \, V/m$, then the resistivity of the potentiometer wire is

$A$ potentiometer wire of length $1 \ m$ is connected in series with $495 \ \Omega$ resistance and $2 \ V$ battery. If $0.2 \ mV/cm$ is the potential gradient,then the resistance of the potentiometer wire is: (in $\Omega$)

If the length of a potentiometer wire is increased,then the length of the previously obtained balance point will
