To measure the internal resistance of a battery,a potentiometer is used. For $R = 10 \ \Omega$,the balance point is observed at $\ell = 500 \ cm$ and for $R = 1 \ \Omega$,the balance point is observed at $\ell = 400 \ cm$. The internal resistance of the battery is approximately: (in $Omega$)

  • A
    $0.2$
  • B
    $0.4$
  • C
    $0.1$
  • D
    $0.3$
