Question
An ideal cell having a steady emf of 2 volts is connected across the potentiometer wire of length 10m. The potentiometer wire is of magnesium and having resistance of 11.5 Ω/m. An another cell gives a null point at 6.9m. If a resistance of 5Ω is put in series with potentiometer wire, the new position of the null point is given as x10m. Find x.
