A potentiometer circuit has been set up for finding the internal resistance of a given cell. The main battery, used across the potentiometer wire, has an emf of \(2.0~\text{V}\) and negligible internal resistance. The potentiometer wire itself is \(4~\text{m}\) long. When the resistance, \(R\), connected across the given cell, has values of (i) infinity (ii) \(9.5\), the 'balancing lengths, on the potentiometer wire, are found to be \(3~\text{m}\) and \(2.85~\text{m}\), respectively. The value of the internal resistance of the cell is (in ohm):
1. \(0.25\)
2. \(0.95\)
3. \(0.5\)
4. \(0.75\)
A wire of resistance \(4~\Omega\) is stretched to twice its original length. The resistance of a stretched wire would be:

If the voltage across a bulb rated \((220~\text{V}\text-100~\text{W})\) drops by \(2.5\%\) of its rated value, the percentage of the rated value by which the power would decrease is:
