Question

The resistivity of potentiometer wire is 40 × 10 - 8 Ω m and its area of cross-section is 8 × 10 - 6 m 2 . If 0 . 2 A current is flowing through the wire, the potential gradient of the wire is, 0 . 1 V m - 1, 10 - 2 V m - 1, 10 - 3 V m - 1, 10 - 4 V m - 1

R = ρ l A ∴ R l = ρ A = 40 × 10 - 8 8 × 10 - 6 = 5 × 10 - 2 V l = I R l = 0.2 × 5 × 10 - 2 = 10 - 2 V m - 1
