If the current in a potentiometer increases, the position of the null point will

A

be obtained at a larger length than the previous one

B

be equal to the previous length

C

be obtained at a smaller length than the previous

D

none of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

`x=(iR)/LrArr ` as current increases potential gradient increases so balance length decreases.
