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
If the specific resistance of a potentiometer wire is and the current flow through it is 0.1 A, the cross-sectional area of the wire is , then potential gradient will be:
1.
2.
3.
4.
