Question
Write down two uses of potentiometer.
✓
Answer
Potentiometer is an accurate instrument to measure the electromotive force of a cell or the potential difference between two points of an electrical circuit.
In fact, the potentiometer behaves like a voltmeter whose own resistance is infinite.
