Question #1
The primary principle behind the working of a potentiometer is that the potential drop across any length of a uniform wire carrying a constant steady current is:
A. Independent of its length.
B. Directly proportional to its length.
C. Directly proportional to the square of its length.
D. Inversely proportional to its length.

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
A potentiometer uses a long wire of uniform cross-section and composition. When a constant steady current flows through it, Ohm's law (V = IR) and the resistance formula (R = rhoL/A) combine to give V = I(rho/A)L. Since I, rho, and A are constant, the potential drop V is strictly directly proportional to the length L of the wire.

Question #2
Two resistance wires of same material and same length have diameters in ratio 2:1. Their resistances are in ratio
A. 4:1
B. 1:4
C. 2:1
D. 1:2

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
R ∝ L/A ∝ 1/d². So R₁/R₂ = (d₂/d₁)² = (1/2)² = 1/4 = 1:4.
