The circuit shown here is used to compare the e.m.f. of two cells E1 and E2(E1>E2). The null point is at C when the galvanometer is connected to E1. When the galvanometer is connected to E2, the null point will be 

1. To the left of C

2. To the right of C

3. At C itself

4. Nowhere on AB

In the diagram shown, the reading of voltmeter is 20 V and that of ammeter is 4 A. The value of R should be (consider given ammeter and voltmeter are not ideal) :

1. Equal to 5 Ω

2. Greater from 5 Ω

3. Less than 5 Ω

4. Greater or less than 5 Ω depends on the material of R

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.
