In a potentiometer experiment, a cell of emf $1.25 \,V$ gives a balancing length of $30 \,cm$. If the cell is replaced by another cell, the balancing length is found to be $40 \,cm$. What is the emf of the second cell?

In a potentiometer circuit,a cell of $2\,V$ $e.m.f.$ and $5\,\Omega$ internal resistance is connected to a uniform wire of length $1000\,cm$ and resistance $15\,\Omega$. The potential gradient of the wire is:

$A$ cell can be balanced against $110 \ cm$ and $100 \ cm$ of potentiometer wire,respectively with and without being short-circuited through a resistance of $10 \ \Omega$. Its internal resistance is

$A$ potentiometer circuit shown in the figure is set up to measure the $e.m.f.$ of a cell $E$. As the point $P$ moves from $X$ to $Y$, the galvanometer $G$ shows deflection always in one direction, but the deflection decreases continuously until $Y$ is reached. In order to obtain a balance point between $X$ and $Y$, it is necessary to

In a potentiometer experiment, a null point is obtained at a particular point for a cell on a potentiometer wire of length $L$. If the length of the potentiometer wire is increased by a few centimeters without changing the cell or the driving source, the balancing length will:
