Current Electricity Charging Discharging Of Capacitors Question 205
Question: Sensitivity of potentiometer can be increased by
[MP PET 1994]
Options:
A) Increasing the e.m.f. of the cell
B) Increasing the length of the potentiometer wire
C) Decreasing the length of the potentiometer wire
D) None of the above
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
The sensitivity of potentiometer can be increased by decreasing the potential gradient i.e. by increasing the length of potentiometer wire. (Sensitivity ยต $ \frac{1}{P.G.}\propto \text{Length} $ )
