hello friend ..!!

⇒POTENTIOMETER : a potentiometer is a device used to accurately measure the e.m.f of a voltage source or potential difference between two points in an electrical circuit . 


⇒PRINCIPLE : if a wire f uniform area of cross-section is carrying a steady current , then fall of potential across any portion of the wire is directly proportional to the length of that portion . 

R = ρ l / A ,

we know that , V = i R 

implies, V = i ( ρl  / A ) 

V = l ( ρi / A) 

implies, V = l K  where K is constant and K = ρ i /A 

therefore , V = k L 

{ V α L } .
