A potentiometer using cell C of emf 5V and internal resistance 0.2 ohms is connected to a wire AB in the figure below. A standard cell C0 of a constant emf of 1.10 V gives a balance point at 55 cm of the wire. When C0 is replaced by a cell of emf E, the balance point is obtained at 85 cm. What is the value of E?
