### Step-by-Step Solution **Step 1: State the Principle of Potentiometer** The principle of a potentiometer states that the potential drop across a segment of a wire of uniform cross-section carrying a constant current is directly proportional to the length of that segment. Mathematically, this can be expressed as: \[ V \propto L \] where \( V \) is the potential drop and \( L \) is the length of the wire segment. **Step 2: Draw the Circuit Diagram** ...
