For measurement of potential difference, the potentiometer is preferred in comparison to the voltmeter because:

1. the potentiometer is more sensitive than the voltmeter.

2. the resistance of the potentiometer is less than
    the voltmeter.

3. the potentiometer is cheaper than the voltmeter.

4. the potentiometer does not take current from the circuit.

A potentiometer is an ideal device of measuring potential difference because

(1) It uses a sensitive galvanometer

(2) It does not disturb the potential difference it measures

(3) It is an elaborate arrangement

(4) It has a long wire hence heat developed is quickly radiated
