Assertion : A potentiometer of longer length is used fof accrurate measurement. Reason : The potential gradient for a potentiometer of longer length with a given source of e.m.f. becomes small.

Assertion A potentiometer is preferred over that of a voltmeter for measurement of emf of a cell Reason potentiometer does not draw any current from the cell.

Instead of voltmeter, potentiometer is always used to measure e.m.f. of cell, because at the null point, the potentiometer

A potentiometer is an ideal voltmeter since a voltmeter draws some current through the circuit while potentiometer needs no current to work. A potentiometer works on the principle of emf comparison. In working condition, a constant currant flows throughout the wire of a potentiometer is made of uniform material and cross-sectional area, and it has uniform resistance per unit length. The potential gradient depends upon the current in the wire. A potentiometer with a cell of emf 2 V and internal resistance 0.4 Omega is used across the wire AB . A standard cadmium cell of emf 1.02 V gives a balance point at 66 cm length of wire. The standard cell is then replaced by a cell of unknows emf e (internal resistance r ), and the balance. Point found similarly turns out to be 88 cm length of the wire. The length of potentiometer wire AB is 1 m . The value of e is

The potentiometer wire of resistance R is connected in series with a cell of e.m.f. E and of resistance R_(h) . The current flowing through the potentiometer wire is

When a balance point is obtained in a potentiometer for finding the internal resistance of a cell, the current through the potentiometer wire is due to

In an experiment with potentiometer to measure the internal resistance of a cell when the cell is shunted by 5Omega the null point is obtained at 2m .When the cell is shunted by 10Omega the null point is obtained at 3m .The internal resistance of the cell is
