In a potentiometer experiment, the balancing length with a cell is $560 \, cm$. When an external resistance of $10 \, \Omega$ is connected in parallel to the cell, the balancing length changes by $60 \, cm$. Find the internal resistance of the cell.

  • A
    $1 \, \Omega$
  • B
    $2 \, \Omega$
  • C
    $1.2 \, \Omega$
  • D
    $2.1 \, \Omega$
