$A$ potentiometer wire $PQ$ of $1\,m$ length is connected to a standard cell $E_{1}$. Another cell $E_{2}$ of emf $1.02\,V$ is connected with a resistance $r$ and switch $S$ (as shown in figure). With switch $S$ open,the null position is obtained at a distance of $49\,cm$ from $Q$. The potential gradient in the potentiometer wire is.......$V/cm$.
