In a potentiometer experiment, it is found that no current passes through the galvanometer when the terminals of the cell are connected across $52\ cm$ of the potentiometer wire. If the cell is shunted by a resistance of $ 5\,\Omega$, a balance is found when the cell is connected across $40\ cm$ of the wire. Find the internal resistance of the cell ........... $\Omega$
