In a potentiometer experiment, it is found that no current passes through the galvanometer, when the terminals of a cell are connected across 50 cm of the potentiometer wire. If the cell is shunted by a resistance of 5 ohm, the balance point is found at 40 cm of the wire from the same end. Find the internal resistance of the cell.
