A potentiometer wire of length 100 cm has a resistance of 10Omega . It is connected in series with a resistance and a cell of emf 2V and of negligible internal resistance. A source of emf 10 mV is balanced against a length of 40 cm of the potentiometer wire. What is the value of external resistance ?

A resistance R = 2Omega is connected to one of the gaps in a metre bridge, which uses a wire of length 1m. An unknown resistance X is connected in the other gap as shown in the figure. The balance point is noticed at 'l' from the positive end of the battery. On interchanging R and X, it is found that the balance point further shifts by 20 cm (away from end A). Neglecting the end correction, calculate the value of unknown resistance X used.
