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$(i), (ii), (iii), (iv)$

c To measure the emf of a cell we prefer potentiometer rather than voltmeter because
$(i)$ the length of potentiometer which allows greater precision.
$(ii)$ in case of potentiometer, no current flows through the cell.
$(iii)$ of high sensitivity

The length of a given cylindrical wire is increased to double of its original length. The percentage increase in the resistance of the wire will be..... $\%$.
The drift velocity of free electrons in a conductor is ‘$v$’ when a current ‘$i$’ is flowing in it. If both the radius and current are doubled, then drift velocity will be
An electric kettle takes $4\, A$ current at $220\,V.$ How much time will it take to boil $1\,\, kg$ of water circuits are consequences of from temperature $20\,^o C\, ?$ The temperature of $(a)$ conservation of energy and electric charge boiling water is $100\,^o C.$ ............... $min$
An electric bulb rated for $500\, watts$ at $100\, volts$ is used in a circuit having a $200-volt$ supply. The resistance $R$ that must be put in series with the bulb, so that the bulb draws $500\, W$ is .................. $\Omega$
