A potentiometer wire of length 100 cm has resistance of 20 ohm. It is connected in series with an external resistance and a cell of emf 2 volt and of negligible internal resistance. A source of emf 20 mV is balance against a length of 40 cm of the potentiometer wire. What is the value of external resistance?
