The length of a potentiometer wire is $l$. $A$ cell of $emf$ $E$ is balanced at a length $l/3$ from the positive end of the wire. If the length of the wire is increased by $l/2$,at what distance will the same cell give a balance point?

  • A
    $2l/3$
  • B
    $l/2$
  • C
    $l/6$
  • D
    $4l/3$
