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?
  • A$(i), (iii), (iv)$
  • B$(i), (iii), (iv)$
  • C$(i), (ii)$
  • D$(i), (ii), (iii), (iv)$
