In a potentiometer arrangement, a cell of emf $1.20\, V$ gives a balance point at $36\, cm$ length of wire. This cell is now replaced by another cell of emf $1.80\, V$. The difference in balancing length of potentiometer wire in above conditions will be $....cm$.

$1.2=($ Potential Gradient $) \times 36$

$1.8=($ Potential Gradient $) \times x$

On dividing, we get

$\frac{2}{3}=\frac{36}{x}$

$x=18 \times 3=54\,cm$

Hence difference $=54-36=18\,cm$
