The voltage across a load is controlled by using the circuit diagram shown in the figure. The resistance of the load and of the potentiometer is R. The load is connected to the middle of the potentiometer. The input voltage is constant and equal to U. Determine the change in the voltage across the load if its resistance is doubled.

The circuit includes two d.c. sources, two resistors, and an ammeter. The emf of one source is E1 and of the other is unknown. The internal resistance of the sources should be taken as zero. The resistance of the resistors is also unknown. One of the resistors has a varying resistance chosen in such a way that the current through the ammeter is the same for both positions of the key. The current is measured and is found to be equal to I.

Determine the resistance denoted by Rx in the diagram.
