Which of the following statement is correct for a potentiometer ?
- A It cannot measure resistance
- B It cannot measure the capacitance of a capacitor
- C It cannot measure current
- D It cannot measure potential difference
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) It cannot measure potential difference
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
A potentiometer is a versatile instrument primarily used to measure potential difference, EMF of a cell, and internal resistance. By using standard resistors, it can also indirectly measure current and resistance. However, it is not designed to measure capacitance, which…
