A 10 m potentiometer wire is attached to a battery with a steady voltage. A leclanche cell is balanced on 4 m wire. With same length, but doubled cross-section, find null point.

Considering that the length of the potentiometer is same, the null point will be acquired at some point due to the fact that the potential gradient will not change.

Therefore, Potential gradient = V/L

Here,

  • V = Voltage (Potentiometer)
  • L = Length (Potentiometer)

Hence, the null point won’t alter and will be acquired at 4m.
