Numerical Problems on Potential Drop
Science > Physics > Current Electricity > Numerical Problems on Potential Drop In this article, we shall study to solve numerical problems on the calculation of potential drop (potential gradient) on potentiometer wire. Example 01: A potentiometer wire is 10 m long and a P.D. of 6 V is maintained between its ends. Find the […]

Science > Physics > Current Electricity > Potentiometer In this article, we shall study the principle, construction, and working of a potentiometer and its uses. Principle of Potentiometer: When a steady current flows through a wire of uniform cross-section the potential difference per unit length of the wire is constant throughout the length of the […]
