The length of a potentiometer wire is $L$. $A$ cell of e.m.f. $E$ is balanced at a length $\frac{L}{3}$ from the positive end of the wire. If the length of the wire is increased by $\frac{L}{2}$,at what distance will the same cell give a balance point?

  • A
    $\frac{2 L}{3}$
  • B
    $\frac{L}{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{L}{6}$
  • D
    $\frac{4 L}{3}$
