Figure 3.33 shows a potentiometer with a cell of 2.0 V and internal resistance `0.40 Omega` maintaining a potential drop across the resistor wire AB. A standard cell which maintains a constant emf of 1.02 V (for very moderate currents upto a few mA) gives a balance point at 67.3 cm length of the wire. To ensure very low currents drawn from the standard cell, a very high resistance of `600 k Omega` is put in series with it, which is shorted close to the balance point. The standard cell is then replaced by a cell of unknown`emf epsilon` and the balance point found similarly, turns out to be at 82.3 cm length of the wire. Would the circuit work well for determining an extremely small emf, say of the order of a few mV (such as the typical emf of a thermo-couple)? If not, how will you modify the circuit?:
