To solve the problem, we will use the principle of a potentiometer, which states that the potential difference across a length of wire is directly proportional to the length of the wire. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Values:** - Resistance \( R = 2 \, \Omega \) - Balancing length for \( R \) (denoted as \( L_R \)) = 100 cm - Balancing length for unknown resistance \( X \) (denoted as \( L_X \)) = 500 cm ...
