The adjoining figure shows the connections of a potentiometer experiment to determine the internal resistance of a Leclanché cell. When the cell is on open circuit,the balancing length of the potentiometer wire is $3.4 \, m$,and on closing the key $K_2$,the balancing length becomes $1.7 \, m$. If the resistance $R$ through which current is drawn is $10 \, \Omega$,then the internal resistance of the cell is .............. $\Omega$.
