d Let the resistance of the wire be $R$, then we know that resistance is proportional to the length of the wire. So each of the four wires will have $R/4$ resistance and they are connected in parallel. So the effective resistance will be

A null point is found at $200\,cm$ in potentiometer when cell in secondary circuit is shunted by $5\,\Omega$. When a resistance of $15\,\Omega$ is used for shunting null point moves to $300\,cm$. The internal resistance of the cell is $..............\,\Omega$.
If an electron revolves in the path of a circle of radius of $0.5 × 10^{-10}\, m$ at frequency of $5 × 10^{15}$ $cycles/s$ the electric current in the circle is ..................$mA$ (Charge of an electron $=1.6 × 10^{-19}\, C$ )
In a potentiometer experiment shown here, for the position $X$ of the jockey $J,$ there occurs a null deflection in the galvanometer. Then the potential difference between points $A$ and $X$ is ................ $V$
The length of a potentiometer wire is $\ell $. A cell of emf $E$ is balanced at a length $\ell /3$ from the positive end of the wire. If the length of the wire is increased by $\ell /2$ at what distance will the same cell give a balanced point
