प्रश्न
What will be the effect on the position of zero deflection if only the current flowing through the potentiometer wire is increased?
उत्तर
The potential gradient along the wire increases as the current through the potentiometer wire increases. As a result, the position of zero deflection will be at a shorter length.

Figure shows a potentiometer with a cell of 2.0 V and internal resistance 0.40 Ω maintaining a potential drop across the resistor wire AB. A standard cell which maintains a constant emf of 1.02 V (for very moderate currents up to a few mA) gives a balance point at 67.3 cm length of the wire. To ensure very low currents drawn from the standard cell, very high resistance of 600 kΩ is put in series with it, which is shorted close to the balance point. The standard cell is then replaced by a cell of unknown emf ε and the balance point found similarly, turns out to be at 82.3 cm length of the wire.
