Question

if the specific resistance of a potentiometer wire is 10-7ohmm and current flowing through it is 0.1 A, cross sectional area of wire is 10^-6 m^2 then potential gradient will be
​

Answer 1

Final Answer : 0.1 V/m

Steps:

1) Potential Gradient,x : Potential drop per unit length.

Where V is Potential Difference

L. : Length of wire

A : Area of Cross section of wire.

I, Current = 0.2A

2) We know that,

Resistance = pl/A

p -> specific resistance

l -> length of wire.

A -> Area of cross section.

Use it in equation (1),

Therefore, Potential Gradient is 0.1 V/m.
