A potentiometer is used for the determination of internal resistance of a 1.6 V cell. The balance point of the cell in open circuit is 75.8 cm. When a resistor of 10.2 Ω is used in the external circuit of the balance point shifts to 68.3 cm length of the potentiometer wire. The internal resistance of the cell is
