AIPMT PRELIMS 2001 Physics Potentiometer MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12

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

A

10⁻² V/m

B

10⁻⁴ V/m

C

10⁻⁶ V/m

D

10⁻⁸ V/m

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Potential gradient is calculated using V = IR, where R = ρL/A. Substituting the values gives 10⁻² V/m.
