The length of a wire of a potentiometer is \(100~\text{cm}\), and the emf of its standard cell is \(E\) volt. It is employed to measure the emf of a battery whose internal resistance is \(0.5~\Omega\). If the balance point is obtained at \(l = 30~\text{cm}\) from the positive end, the emf of the battery is:
1. \(\frac{30E}{100}\)
2. \(\frac{30E}{100.5}\)
3. \(\frac{30E}{(100-0.5)}\)
4. \(\frac{30(E-0.5i)}{100}, \) where \(i\) is the current in the potentiometer
