The potentiometer is best for measuring voltage, as:

1. It has a sensitive galvanometer
2. It has wire of high resistance
3. It measures p.d. like in closed circuit
4. It measures p.d. like in open circuit

If the specific resistance of a potentiometer wire is 10-7 Ωm and the current flow through it is 0.1 A, the cross-sectional area of the wire is  10-6 m2, then potential gradient will be:

1. 10-2 V/m

2. 10-4 V/m

3. 10-6 V/m

4. 10-8 V/m
