Name the device used for measuring the e.m.f. of a cell.

When two cells of emfs. E_1 and E_2 are connected in series so as to assist each other, their balancing length on a potentiometer is found to be 2.7 m. When the cells are connected in series so as to oppose each other, the balancing length is found to be 0.3 m. Compare the emfs of the two cells.

A potentiometer has uniform potential gradient across it. Two cells connected in series (i) to support each other and (ii) to oppose each other are balanced over 6 m and 2 m respectively on the potentiometer wire. The e.m.f.’s of the cells are in the ratio of

A cell of e.m.f. 2 V and negligible internal resistance is connected in series with a potentiometer wire of length 100 cm. The e.m.f of the Leclanche cell is found to balance on 75 cm of the potentiometer wire. The e.m.f. of the cell is
