In a potentiometer experiment, the galvanometer shows no deflection when a cell is connected across $60\, cm$ of the potentiometer wire. If the cell is shunted by a resistance of $6\,\Omega $, the balance is obtained across $50\, cm$ of the wire. The internal resistance of the cell is .............. $\Omega $
