Find out the reading of voltmeter with the help of the given electrical circuit.

A cell of internal resistance $\mathrm{r}$ passes current for some time in a resistor ${\mathrm{R}}_1$, in another resistance ${\mathrm{R}}_2$ current is passed for the same time. If same heat is produced in the two resistors them show that $\mathrm{r}=\sqrt{{\mathrm{R}}_1{\mathrm{R}}_2}$.

A potentiometer wire $\mathrm{PQ}$ of $1 \mathrm{m}$ length is connected to a standard cell ${\mathrm{E}}_1$.
