A potentiometer circuit shown in the figure is set up to measure $e.m.f.$ of a cell $E$. As the point $P$ moves from $X$ to $Y$ the galvanometer $G$ shows deflection always in one direction, but the deflection decreases continuously until $Y$ is reached. In order to obtain balance point between $X$ and $Y$ it is necessary to
ADecreases the resistance $R$
BIncrease the resistance $R$
CReverse the terminals of battery $V$
DReverse the terminals of cell $E$

ADecreases the resistance $R$
a (a) Decreasing $R$ increases current in $XY$ and there by increases the potential drop across $XP$ and the balance point may be obtained. The current may be increased also by increasing $V.$

A cell of constant $e.m.f.$ first connected to a resistance ${R_1}$ and then connected to a resistance ${R_2}$. If power delivered in both cases is then the internal resistance of the cell is
In the circuit shown, a four wire potentiometer is made of a $400\, cm$ long wire, which extends between $A$ and $B$. The resistance per unit length of the potentiometer wire is $r = 0.01\, \Omega /cm$. If an ideal voltmeter is connected as shown with jockey $J$ at $50\, cm$ from end $A$, the expected reading of the voltmeter will be: ............... $V$
Two resistances equal at $0\,^oC$ with temperature coefficient of resistance $\alpha _1$ and $\alpha _2$ joined in series act as a single resistance in a circuit. The temperature coefficient of their single resistance will be
The resistance ofeach arm of the Wheatstone's bridge is $10\; ohm$. A resistance of $10 \;ohm$ is connected in series with a galvanometer then the equivalent resistance across the battery will be
A potentiometer wire of length $100\, cm$ has a resistance of $10\, ohm.$ It is connected in series with a resistance and an accumulator of emf $2\,V$ 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 :- ................. $\Omega$
