In the circuit shown, a four-wire potentiometer is made of a 400 cm long wire, which extends between A and B . The resistance per unit length of the potentiometer wire is r=0.01 Ω/cm. If an ideal voltmeter is connected as shown with jockey J  at 50 cm from end A , the expected reading of the voltmeter will be:

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
