State the principle of potentiometer.

A potentiometer wire has a length 400 cm and a resistance of 20 Omega . It is connected in series with an external resistance R and a cell of e.m.f. 1.5 V and internal resistance 1 Omega . A source of e.m.f.6 mV is balanced against a length of 30 cm of the potentiometer wire. Find R. According to the principle of potentiometer Vpropl . i.e., V = ilp where l'is the balancing length & p the resistance per cm of the potentiometer wire.
