What is a potentiometer?

An electron in the potentiometer wire experiences a force of 2.4 xx 10^-19 N . The length of the potentiometer wire is 4 m. The emf of the battery connected across the wire is :

A resistance of R Omega draws current from a potentiometer. The potentiometer has a total resistance R _(0) Omega. A voltage V is supplied to the potentiometer. Derive an expression for the voltage across R when the sliding contact is in the middle of the potentiometer.

How does the emf of a cell depend on the balancing length obtained in a potentiometer? Give the expression for ratio of emfs in terms of balancing lengths.

In a potentiometer of 10 wires, the balance point is obtained on the 6th wire. To shift the balance point to 8th wire, we should :
