A \(2 \mathrm{~V}\) battery, a \(990 \Omega\) resistor and \(\mathrm{a}\) potentiometer of \(2 \mathrm{~m}\) length, all are connected in series of the resistance of potentiometer wire is \(10 \Omega\), then the potential gradient of the potentiometer wire is

  1. A \(0.05 \mathrm{Vm}^{-1}\)
  2. B \(0.5 \mathrm{Vm}^{-1}\)
  3. C \(0.01 \mathrm{Vm}^{-1}\)
  4. D \(0.1 \mathrm{Vm}^{-1}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(0.01 \mathrm{Vm}^{-1}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Potential gradient \(x=\frac{e}{\left(R+R_{h}+r\right)} \cdot \frac{R}{L}\)
\(
\Rightarrow x=\frac{2}{(990+10)} \times \frac{10}{2}=0.01 \mathrm{Vm}^{-1}
