The potentiometer is best for measuring voltage, as:

1. It has a sensitive galvanometer
2. It has wire of high resistance
3. It measures p.d. like in closed circuit
4. It measures p.d. like in open circuit

The electric resistance of a particular wire of iron is \(R.\) If its length and radius are doubled, then:

1. the resistance will be halved and the specific resistance will remain unchanged
2. the resistance will be halved and the specific resistance will be doubled
3. the resistance and the specific resistance will both remain unchanged
4. the resistance will be doubled and the specific resistance will be halved

Resistances \(n,\) each of \(r~\text{ohm},\)  when connected in parallel give an equivalent resistance of \(R~\text{ohm}.\) If these resistances were connected in series, the combination would have resistance in \(\text{ohms}\) equal to:
1. \(\dfrac{R}{n^2}\)
2. \(\dfrac{R}{n}\)
3. \(nR\)
