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

The unit for measuring potential difference is:

A current of I mA is flowing through a resistance of 1000 Omega . To measure the potential difference across it, a voltmeter should be used whose resistance is

A voltmeter reads the potential difference across the terminals of an old battery as 1.40 V , while a potentiometer reads its voltage to be 1.55 V . The voltmeter resistance is 280 Omega .
