If the length of the potentiometer wire is increased by keeping constant potential difference across the wire, then

  1. A the null point is obtained at shorter distance.
  2. B the potential gradient is increased.
  3. C the null point is obtained at larger distance.
  4. D there is no change in the null point.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) the null point is obtained at larger distance.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Potential gradient \( k = V/L \). If L increases (V constant), k decreases.
