Which is NOT needed for potential to vary linearly along a potentiometer wire?
AUniform cross section
BConstant current
CConstant temperature
DVery high resistivity
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Very high resistivity
Only uniform cross section, constant current and constant temperature are required; the size of the resistivity does not matter.
