Problem

When the switch is open in the lowermost loop of a potentiometer, the balance-point length is 60 cm60\,\text{cm}. When the switch is closed with a known resistance R=4 ΩR=4\,\Omega, the balance-point length decreases to 40 cm40\,\text{cm}. Find the internal resistance of the unknown battery.
