A potentiometer wire of length 300 cm is connected in series with a resistance 780 
and a standard cell of emf 4V. A constant current flows through potentiometer wire. The length of the null point for cell of emf 20 mV is found to be 60 cm. The resistance of the potentiometer wire is____ 
.

Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
CHECK THE SOLUTION.
(20)
Let resistance of potentiometers wire is R 
Potential difference across AB 
Potential difference across AC
This should be equal to 20 mv
