Question
![### Potentiometer Circuit Measurement
**Diagram Explanation:**
The diagram depicts a circuit using a potentiometer to measure the voltage \( V_m \). In the circuit:
- \( V_s \) represents the source voltage.
- \( L \) is the total length of the potentiometer.
- \( R \) is the resistance wire of the potentiometer.
- \( R_x \) is the variable section of the resistance wire.
- An ammeter (A) is connected in series to measure current \( I_G \).
- \( V_m \) is the voltage across resistor \( R_m \).
**Question 2: [5 Points]**
A potentiometer is used to measure the voltage \( V_m \) as shown in the circuit above. \( L \) is the length of the potentiometer, and \( x \) is the length of resistance up to the contact point when the measurement is ready to be taken.
(a) **Conditions for Measurement:**
- What conditions are required for a measurement to be taken?
- Does this place the system in null or deflection mode for the measurement?
(b) **Calculation of \( V_m \):**
- How is \( V_m \) calculated from the measured length \( x \)? Provide a mathematical expression.
- No written explanation is required.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fa487fd1f-659d-4c4f-ad85-f8cf24cc282d%2F5f339361-d2dd-45c4-a6e8-5014e9e0782b%2F6181ppl_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)

Expert Solution

Step 1
a.
To make the measurement of unknown voltage Vm
- The ammeter must show 0A reading
- For more accuracy of measurement, the ammeter should be very sensitive.
- The ammeter should have no deflection and it must be at null point represents zero current.
