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 method work in the above situation if the driver cell of the potentiometer had an emf of 1.0V instead of 2.0V? :
