A potentiometer wire has a uniform potential gradient. The specific resistance of the material of the wire is \(10^{-7} \text{ ohm-m}\), the current passing through it is 0.1 A and its cross-sectional area is \(10^{-6} \text{ m}^2\). What is the value of the potential gradient?

  1. A \(10^{-4} \text{ Vm}^{-1}\)
  2. B \(10^{-6} \text{ Vm}^{-1}\)
  3. C \(10^{-2} \text{ Vm}^{-1}\)
  4. D \(10^{-8} \text{ Vm}^{-1}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(10^{-2} \text{ Vm}^{-1}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(k = \frac{I\rho}{A}\) \(k = \frac{(0.1 \text{ A})(10^{-7} \text{ ohm-m})}{(10^{-6} \text{ m}^2)}\) \(k = 10^{-2} \text{ Vm}^{-1}\)
