 Potential difference between $A$ and $B$

${V_A} - {V_B} = 1 \times 1.5$

$ \Rightarrow \,\,\,{V_A} - 0 = 1.5\,V \Rightarrow {V_A} = 1.5\,V$

Potential difference between $B$ and $C$

${V_B} - {V_C} = 1 \times 2.5 = 2.5\,V$

$ \Rightarrow 0 - {V_C} = 2.5\,V \Rightarrow {V_C} = - 2.5\,V$

Potential difference between $C$ and $D$

${V_C} - {V_D} = - 2V$$ \Rightarrow \,\,\, - 2.5 - {V_D} = - 2 \Rightarrow \,{V_D} = - 0.5\,V.$

    In a meter bridge experiment $\mathrm{S}$ is a standard resistance. $\mathrm{R}$ is a resistance wire. It is found that balancing length is $l=25 \;\mathrm{cm} .$ If $\mathrm{R}$ is replaced by a wire of half length and half diameter that of $\mathrm{R}$ of same material, then the balancing distance $\left.l^{\prime} \text { (in } \mathrm{cm}\right)$ will now be
