Question: A potentiometer consists of a wire of length 4 m and resistance $ 10,\Omega $ . It is connected to a cell of e.m.f. 2 V. The potential difference per unit length of the wire will be

[CBSE PMT 1999; AFMC 2001]

Options:

A) 0.5 $ V/m $

B) $ 2,V/m $

C) $ 5,V/m $

D) $ 10,V/m $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

Since potential difference for full length of wire = 2 V \ P.D. per unit length of wire $ =\frac{2}{4}=0.5,\frac{V}{m} $
