Sensitivity of a potentiometer can be increased by:

$A$ 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 the given circuit of a potentiometer,the potential difference $E$ across $AB$ ($10\, m$ length) is larger than $E_{1}$ and $E_{2}$ as well. For key $K_{1}$ (closed),the jockey is adjusted to touch the wire at point $J_{1}$ so that there is no deflection in the galvanometer. Now,the first battery $(E_{1})$ is replaced by the second battery $(E_{2})$ for working by making $K_{1}$ open and $K_{2}$ closed. The galvanometer then gives null deflection at $J_{2}$. The value of $\frac{E_{1}}{E_{2}}$ is $\frac{a}{b}$,where $a = \dots$ (Refer to the image for balancing lengths $l_{1}$ and $l_{2}$ from point $A$).

Resistance of $100 \, cm$ long potentiometer wire is $10 \, \Omega$. It is connected to a battery of $2 \, V$ and a resistance $R$ in series. $A$ source of $10 \, mV$ gives a null point at $40 \, cm$ length. The value of external resistance $R$ is ........... $\Omega$.

The wire of a potentiometer has a resistance of $4 \Omega$ and a length of $1 \ m$. It is connected to a cell of emf $2 \ V$ and internal resistance $1 \Omega$. The current flowing through the potentiometer wire is: (in $A$)
