Discuss the principle of potentiometer and explain the determination of potential difference across a conductor using a potentiometer.

In every experiment with potentiometer in the null point state, the potential difference between the ends of the galvanometer is

Potentiometer is better for measuring the potential difference than the voltmeter because

The length of a potentiometer wire is 10m and a potential difference of 2 volt is applied to its ends. If the length of its wire is increased by 1m, the value of potential gradient in volt/m will be (potential difference across potentiometer wire remain same)

Assertion : In case of potentiometer experiment, if emfs of known and unknown both batteries are increased two times, then null point length will remain unchanged. Reason : Null point length does not depend on emf of either of the two batteries.

In a potentiometer experiment, the null point is obtained at 140 cm for a cell of e.m.f. 1.2 V. With another cell of unknown e.m.f., the null point is obtained at 210 cm. The unknown e.m.f. is

A potentiometer is an ideal device of measuring potential difference because

Potentiometer measures the potential difference more accurately than a voltmeter, because
