If specific resistance of a potentiometer wire is 10-7 m and current flow through it is 0.1 amp., cross-sectional area of wire is 10-6 m2 then potential gradient will be
- 10-2 volt/m
- 10-4 volt/m
- 10-6 volt/m
- 10-8 volt/m
Answer
(1) 10-2 volt/m
Solution
Resistance per unit length: Rl = A
Potential gradient k = Vl = I A
= 0.1 10-710-6
= 10-2 V/m
