    A potentiometer circuit shown in the figure is set up to measure $e.m.f.$ of a cell $E$. As the point $P$ moves from $X$ to $Y$ the galvanometer $G$ shows deflection always in one direction, but the deflection decreases continuously until $Y$ is reached. In order to obtain balance point between $X$ and $Y$ it is necessary to
