The resistor R1 dissipates power P, when connected to a generator. If a resistor R2 is inserted in series with R1, the power dissipated by R1
may increase or decrease depending on the value fo R1 and R2

In a potentiometer of 10 wires,the balance point is obtained on the 7th wire.To shift the balance point to 9th wire,we should
decrease resistance in the main circuit
increase resistance in the main circuit
decrease resistance in series with the cell whose emf is to be measured
increase resistance in series with the cell whose emf is to be determined
