In an experiment with a potentiometer,$V_B = 10 \, V$ and the variable resistance is adjusted to $R = 50 \, \Omega$ (figure). $A$ student wanting to measure the voltage $E_1$ of a battery (approx. $8 \, V$) finds no null point. He then diminishes $R$ to $10 \, \Omega$ and is able to locate the null point on the last $(4^{th})$ segment of the potentiometer wire. Find the resistance of the potentiometer wire and the potential drop per unit length.
