NEET MCQ Books for XIth & XIIth Physics, Chemistry & BiologyTwo cells of emf's approximately \(5\) V and \(10\) V are to be accurately compared using a potentiometer of length \(400\) cm.
1. | The battery that runs the potentiometer should have a voltage of \(8\) V |
2. | The battery of the potentiometer can have a voltage of \(15\) V and \(R\) adjusted so that the potential drop across the wire slightly exceeds \(10\) V |
3. | The first portion of \(50\) cm of the wire itself should have a potential drop of \(10\) V |
4. | Potentiometer is usually used for comparing resistances and not voltages |
