Question

Sensitivity of potentiometer

Answer 1

Hey mate

Here is ur answer

The sensitivity of potentiometer means the smallest potential difference that can be measured with the help of it.
It can be increased by decreasing its potential gradient. The same can be achieved by :-
1. By increasing the length of potentiometer wire.
2. By reducing the current in the potentiometer wire circuit with the help of rheostat.

Answer 2

A Potentiometer is sensitive if :-

It is capable of measuring very small potential differences, and

It shows a significant change in balancing length for a small change in potential difference being measured
