CBSE Class 12-science Answered
What do you mean by sensitivity of potentiometer? How can we increase the sensitivity of potentiometer?
Asked by Topperlearning User | 28 Apr, 2015, 09:58: AM
A potentiometer is sensitive if it is capable of measuring the small potential differences and it shows significant change in balancing length for a small change in the potential difference being measured.
Sensitivity of potentiometer means the smallest potential difference that can be measured by using it and this can be achieved by decreasing the potential gradient by increasing the length of the wire or reducing the current in the potentiometer using rheostat.
