A $100\, V$ voltmeter of internal resistance $20\,k\Omega $ in series with a high resistance $R$ is connected to a $110\, V$ line. The voltmeter reads $5\, V$, the value of $R$ is ................ $k \Omega $
A potentiometer wire has length $10\, m$ and resistance $20\,\Omega $. A $2. 5\, V$ battery of negligible internal resistance is connected across the wire with an $80\,\Omega $ series resistance. The potential gradient on the wire will be
