In a potentiometric arrangement ,a cell is connected to the potentiometer wire of 60 cm in length to make the deflection zero in galvanometer . Now if the cell is shunted with a 6Omega resistor , a null point is found in 50 cm length of the wire . What is the internal resistance of the cell ?

A poterntimeter wire is 100 cm long and a constant potential difference is maintained acrooss it . Two cells are connected in seires first to support one another and then in opposite direction .

The current through the wire is 10 A as shown in figure below. Find magnetic field intensity at the point O of the circular part. The radius of the circular part is 3 cm.

A potentiometer wire of length 100 cm has a resistance of 10Omega . It is connected in series with a resistance and a cell of emf 2V and of negligible internal resistance. A source of emf 10 mV is balanced against a length of 40 cm of the potentiometer wire. What is the value of external resistance ?

A resistance R = 2Omega is connected to one of the gaps in a metre bridge, which uses a wire of length 1m. An unknown resistance X is connected in the other gap as shown in the figure. The balance point is noticed at 'l' from the positive end of the battery. On interchanging R and X, it is found that the balance point further shifts by 20 cm (away from end A). Neglecting the end correction, calculate the value of unknown resistance X used.
