Effect of Dry Salt Bridge on Cell Potential in Galvanic Lab Experiment

[disneychannel]

Homework Statement

What will the affect be on the potential of the cell if salt bridge isn't wetted?
If the salt bridge isn't wetted with KNO3 how would it affect the measured potential of the cell2. The attempt at a solution
So I thought that the potenital will be more negative because since the electrons can not go across the bridge this wouldn't be spontaneous and would have a negative Ecell charge?

What is the potential of an open circuit?

the potential is positive... ***ions not electrons
