A potentiometer wire of length \(L\) and a resistance \(r\) are connected in series with a battery of EMF \(E_{0 }\) and resistance \(r_{1}\). An unknown EMF is balanced at a length l of the potentiometer wire. The EMF \(E\) will be given by:
1. \(\frac{L E_{0} r}{l r_{1}}\)
2. \(\frac{E_{0} r}{\left(\right. r + r_{1} \left.\right)} \cdot \frac{l}{L}\)
3. \(\frac{E_{0} l}{L}\)
4. \(\frac{L E_{0} r}{\left(\right. r + r_{1} \left.\right) l}\)

A potentiometer wire is 100 cm long and a constant potential difference is maintained across it. Two cells are connected in series first to support one another and then in opposite directions. The balance points are obtained at 50 cm and 10 cm from the positive end of the wire in the two cases. The ratio of the emf of the two cells is:
1. 5 : 4
2. 3 : 4
3. 3 : 2
4. 5 : 1

A potentiometer circuit has been set up for finding the internal resistance of a given cell. The main battery, used across the potentiometer wire, has an emf of \(2.0~\text{V}\) and negligible internal resistance. The potentiometer wire itself is \(4~\text{m}\) long. When the resistance, \(R\), connected across the given cell, has values of (i) infinity (ii) \(9.5\), the 'balancing lengths, on the potentiometer wire, are found to be \(3~\text{m}\) and \(2.85~\text{m}\), respectively. The value of the internal resistance of the cell is (in ohm):
1. \(0.25\)
2. \(0.95\)
3. \(0.5\)
4. \(0.75\)

A potentiometer circuit is set up as shown in the figure below. The potential gradient across the potentiometer wire is k volt/cm. Ammeter present in the circuit reads 1.0 A when the two-way key is switched off. The balance points, when the key between the terminals (i) 1 and 2 (ii) 1 and 3, is plugged in, are found to be at lengths l1 cm and l2 cm respectively. The magnitudes of the resistors R and X in ohm, are then, respectively, equal to: 
   

1. k(l2-l1) and kl2

2. kl1 and k(l2-l1)

3. k(l2-l1) and kl1

4. kl1 and kl2
