Q20.The potential difference across 70cm length of a potentiometer wire balances the potential difference across a 2 coil supplied by a cell of emf 2V and internal resistance r ohm. When a 1 coil is placed in parallel with the 2 coil, 50cm of potentiometer wire is needed to balance potential difference across the combination. Find r.
