Potentiometer measures the potential difference more accurately than a voltmeter, becauseA. it has a wire resistanceB. it has a wire of low resistanceC. it does not draw current from external circuitD. it draws a heavy current from external circuit

Answer» Correct Answer - A
When we measure the emf of a cell by the potentiometer then no current flows in the circuit in zero-deflection condition i.e., cell is in open circuit. Thus, in this condition the actual value of a cell is found. In this way, potentiometer is equivalent to an ideal voltmeter of infinite resistance.
