A potentiometer wire of length 100 cm and resistance 3 `Omega` is connected in series with resistance of 8 `Omega` and an accumulator of 4 volt whose internal resistance is 1 `Omega`.
It is observed in a potentiometer experiment that no current passes through the galvanometer when the terminals of the cell are connected across a certain length of the potentiometer wire. On shunting the cell by a 2 Ω resistance, the balancing length is reduced to half. The internal resistance of the cell is ______.

Consider a simple circuit shown in figure
stands for a variable resistance R′. R′ can vary from R0 to infinity. r is internal resistance of the battery (r << R << R0).

- Potential drop across AB is nearly constant as R ′ is varied.
- Current through R′ is nearly a constant as R ′ is varied.
- Current I depends sensitively on R′.
- `I ≥ V/(r + R)` always.
The emf of the cell of internal resistance 1.275 Ω balances against a length of 217 cm of a potentiometer wire. Find the balancing length when the cell is shunted by a resistance of 15 Ω.
