Figure `6.12` shows a potentiometer circular for comparison of two resistances. The balance point with a standard resistor `R = 10.0 Omeag ` is found to be `58.3 cm`, while that with the unknows resistance `X` is `68.5 cm`. Determine the value of `X`. What would you do if you fail to find a balance point with the given cell `E`?
