Circuit for the measurement of resistance by potentiometer is shown in Figure. The galvanometer is first connected at point and zero deflection is observed at length = 10 cm. In second case, it is connected at point and zero deflection is observed at a length 30 cm from , then the unknown resistance is

In potentiometer wire, potential difference is directly proportional to length, let the potential drop of unit length of a potentiometer wire be k

For zero deflection, the current will flow independently in two circles:
\mathrm{I R=K \times 10 }

\mathrm{ I R+I X=K \times 30 }

Subtracting Eq. (ii) from Eq. (i), we get

\mathrm{I X=k \times 20 }

Dividing Eq. (i) by Eq. (ii), we have
\mathrm{ \frac{R}{X}=\frac{1}{2} }
