What is a potentiometer?

In an experiment with a potentiometer V_B=10 V , R is adjusted to be 50 Omega as shown in figure. A student wanting to measure voltage E_1 of a battery (approx. 8 V) finds no null point possible. He then diminishes R to 10 Omega and is able to locate the null point on the last (4th) segment of potentiometer.Find the resistance of the potentiometer wire and potential drop per unit length across the wire in the second case.

The resistance of a potentiometer wire is 10 Omega and its length is 10 meter. A resistance box and 2 V accumulator are placed in series with it. What should be the value of resistance in the box if it is desired to have potential drop of 1muV /mm?
