A potentiometer is basically a
Show Hint
Potentiometers are null-type instruments with ideally zero power consumption from measured source.
Updated On: May 23, 2025
- deflection type instrument and power consumed in the circuit of unknown source is ideally zero
- null type instrument and power consumed in the circuit of unknown source is high
- deflection type instrument and power consumed in the circuit of unknown source is high
- null type instrument and power consumed in the circuit of unknown source is ideally zero
Show Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
A potentiometer is a null type instrument — it works on zero current condition (no deflection).
Thus, ideally it consumes no power from the unknown voltage source.
