Internal resistance of the cell, r = (E - V)/V × R = (l₁ - l₂)/l₂ × R.
r = 0.5 Ω
r = 0.25 Ω
r = 1 Ω
r = 2 Ω
Correct answer: r = 0.25 Ω
Solution
The formula for internal resistance is given as r = (l₁ - l₂)/l₂ × R, where l₁ and l₂ are the balancing lengths, and R is the resistance. Substituting the given values into the formula yields r = 0.25 Ω.
