Solution

  1. The balancing point in the potentiometer is the point on the slide wire where the galvanometer shows zero deflection.
  2. The balance point is found to determine the unknown emf of the cell.
  3. If the arrangement is not balanced, there will be a potential difference across the galvanometer.
  4. At the balance point, there will be no current flow through the galvanometer.
