Figure shows a potentiometer with a cell of 2.0V and internal resistance 0.40\(\Omega\) maintaining a potential drop across the resistor wire AB. A standard cell which maintains a constant e.m.f. of 1.02V (for very moderate currents upto a few mA) gives a balance point at 67.3 cm length of the wire. To ensure very low currents drawn from the standard cell a very high resistance of 600k\(\Omega\) is put in series with it, which is shorted close to the balance point.

Since drift velocity \({ v }_{ d }\) and current, I flowing in a conductor are related by the relation:
\({ v }_{ d }=\frac { I }{ neA } ....(1)\)
Also drift velocity in terms of average relaxation time τ is given by\(\)
\({ v }_{ d }=\frac { eE\tau }{ m } .......(2)\)
From (1) and (2), we have

\(R=\frac { ml }{ n{ e }^{ 2 }A\tau }\)
\(But\quad R=\rho \frac { l }{ A }\)
\(\therefore \ \rho \frac { l }{ A } =\frac { ml }{ n{ e }^{ 2 }A\tau }\)
