    It is preferable to measure the $e.m.f.$ of a cell by potentiometer than by a voltmeter because of the following possible reasons.
    $(i)$ In case of potentiometer, no current flows through the cell.
    $(ii)$ The length of the potentiometer allows greater precision.
    $(iii)$ Measurement by the potentiometer is quicker.
    $(iv)$ The sensitivity of the galvanometer, when using a potentiometer is not relevant.
    Which of these reasons are correct?
