Data : Part I : R = 12 Ω, l2 = 120 cm;
Part II : R = 18 Ω, l2 = 150 cm
From Eqs, (1) and (2), we get,
This is the balancing length when the cell is in open circuit.
∴ r = 12 \(\left(\cfrac{I_1-120}{120}\right)\) = \(\cfrac{300-120}{10}\) = \(\cfrac{180}{10}\) = 18 Ω
This is the internal resistance of the cell a unit
