In the circuit shown, a four wire potentiometer is made of a \(400\, cm\) long wire, which extends between \(A\) and \(B\). The resistance per unit length of the potentiometer wire is \(r = 0.01\, \Omega /cm\). If an ideal voltmeter is connected as shown with jockey \(J\) at \(50\, cm\) from end \(A\), the expected reading of the voltmeter will be: ............... \(V\)

Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(0.25\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Resistance of wire \(A B=400 \times 0.01=4 \,\Omega\) \(\mathrm{i}=\frac{3}{6}=0.5\, \mathrm{A}\)
Now voltmeter reading \(=\) \(i\) (Resistance of \(50 \,\mathrm{cm}\) length)
\(=(0.5 \mathrm{A})(0.01 \times 50)=0.25\) \(volt\)
