    Wheatstone bridge principle is used to measure the specific resistance $\left(S_1\right)$ of given wire, having length $L$, radius $r$. If $X$ is the resistance of wire, then specific resistance is: $S_1=X\left(\frac{\pi r^2}{L}\right)$. If the length of the wire gets doubled then the value of specific resistance will be :

    In a potentiometer experiment two cells of $e.m.f.$ $E_1$ and $E_2$ are used in series and in conjunction and the balancing length is found to be $58\, cm$ of the wire. If the polarity of $E_2$ is reversed, then the balancing length becomes $29\, cm$. The ratio $\frac{{{E_1}}}{{{E_2}}}$ of the $e.m.f.$ of the two cells is
