Question
A $10 \,m$ long potentiometer wire is connected to a battery having a steady voltage. A Leclanche cell is balanced at $4 \,m$ length of the wire. If the length is kept the same, but its cross-section is doubled, the null point will be obtained at ........... $m$

Answer

b
(b)

If length is kept same, potential gradient remains same, so null point does not change.
