$A$ potentiometer balances at $44 \ cm$ when a cell of internal resistance $1 \ \Omega$ is in the secondary circuit. To obtain the balancing point at $40 \ cm$,the resistance to be connected in parallel to the cell is: (in $\Omega$)

In the figure,the potentiometer wire $AB$ of length $L$ and resistance $9r$ is joined to the cell $D$ of $emf$ $\varepsilon$ and internal resistance $r$. The cell $C$'s $emf$ is $\frac{\varepsilon}{2}$ and its internal resistance is $2r$. The galvanometer $G$ will show no deflection when the length $AJ$ is
