Problem
A potentiometer is an instrument for measuring an unknown voltage in comparison to a standard voltage.
In the potentiometer shown in Figure 1.0 a 16.0-m stretch of wire AB is connected to a 9.00-V battery. The
resistance per unit length of the wire is 16.0 0/mm. The movable contact P is at point B. An ammeter (circle
with A inside) is connected to point A.
