In an experiment of potentiometer for measuring the internal resistance of primary cell a balancing length $\ell $ is obtained on the potentiometer wire when the cell is open circuit. Now the cell is short circuited by a resistance $R$. If $R$ is to be equal to the internal resistance of the cell the balancing length on the potentiometer wire will be
  • A$\ell $
  • B$2\ell $
  • C$\ell/2 $
  • D$\ell/4 $
