Answer Key / Explanation : (a) -

(a)

When a constant current is passed through a wire of uniform cross-section, the potential difference across any portion of the wire is directly proportional to the length of that portion.

Potential gradient=

∴ Potential difference across potentiometer wire

=0.02 × 1= 0.02V

Total resistance
