Potential Gradient  =\frac{\Delta \mathrm{V}}{\mathrm{L}}

\begin{aligned} & E-I r=\left(\frac{\Delta v}{L}\right) x \\ & \frac{E R}{R+r}=\left(\frac{\Delta V}{L}\right) x \\ & \frac{E \times 5}{5+r}=\frac{\Delta V}{L} \times 200 \, \, \, \, \, \, ........(1)\\ & \frac{E \times 15}{15+r}=\frac{\Delta V}{L} \times 300 \, \, \, \, \, \, ..........(2)\\ & =r=5 \Omega \end{aligned}
