Question

Sensitivity of a potentiometer?

Answer 1

I know to increase the sensitivity of a potentiometer potential gradient has to be increased.
Can we increase sensitivity of a potentiometer by increasing the resistance of the rheostat? I think it will increase as I in the circuit will decrease and potential drop in the wire will decrease.
Confirm if i'm right.

Answer 3

Correction: Potential gradient has to be decreased.

Answer 5

@DLS shayad pdha nhi hoga tune. :P

Answer 6

nice question :)

Answer 7

I know.

Answer 8

I want to give both of you medals but only can give 1 :(

Answer 9

Pehle samjha. Phir de diyo.

Answer 10

:/

Answer 11

@shubhamsrg soon @RnR will reach my smartscore which i made in 1 year and he made in 1 week,thanks to you -_-

Answer 12

Sahi baat. :P

Answer 13

Aa gye maharaj. :P

Answer 14

i have no clue sorry :D..

Answer 15

pot is the one of those things that i till date never understood clearly! :-/

Answer 16

Finally something Mashy doesnt know. OHHHH YESSSSS. :P

Answer 17

:")))))))))))

Answer 18

worthless piece of pellet!! hahahaha :P

Answer 20

Bi... please, he has solved most of my problems. Take that off. :/

Answer 21

i don't really understand the difference between a pot and a rheostat! :-/

Answer 22

Okay.

Answer 23

so pot is just a rheostat right?

Answer 24

ohh itna baat ho gaya yaha pe! :O

Answer 25

sensitivity kya hota hai ? L/V na ?

Answer 26

Hmm.I doubt. Why would they make another instrument then? :P

Answer 27

cause pot is more sensitive than rheostat? :P

Answer 28

haan. L/v mere khayaal. :P
right mashy. :P

Answer 29

To inc in l ya fir decrease in current ?

Answer 30

V=IR in the main circuit. So if R is increased as V is constant I has to decrease.

Answer 31

haa, wahi.. to I decrease..

Answer 32

Yup.

Answer 33

to ho gaya ques ?

Answer 35

Hint:
\[\LARGE Concentration=\frac{N}{V}\]

Answer 36

Mai thik hun? Yahi puchna tha?

Answer 37

\[\LARGE N=\frac{mass(g)}{mass(a)}\]

Answer 38

samjh aa gaya, dls ko medal milega :')

Answer 39

:D

Answer 40

The resistance in primary circuit will have to be decreased.
Ye galat hai na? Meri book me likha hua hai.

Answer 41

primary circuit mane ?

Answer 42

Mereko bhi nhi samajh aaya. Mere khayaal rheostat ki baat hi kr rha hoga. I dont know.

Answer 43

Nhi.. Primary circuit matlab jo main circuit hai, jahan known emf ki battery lagi hai. vo..

Answer 44

sorry dls

Answer 45

:P

Answer 46

:/

Answer 47

..

Answer 48

to uske resistance ko ghatayenge , to I badh jayega hmm ?

Answer 49

to sensitivity kam honi chaiye thi

Answer 50

Hmm Galat hi hai phir.

Answer 51

meri baat pe itna bharosa na karo, :|

Answer 52

Leh. :/
