Potential gradient through potentiometer Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

potential_gradient = (Electric Potential Difference-Electric potential difference through other terminal)/Length
x = (V-V_B)/l
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Electric Potential Difference - Electric potential difference, also known as voltage, is the external work needed to bring a charge from one location to another location in an electric field. (Measured in Volt)
Electric potential difference through other terminal - Electric potential difference through other terminal, also known as voltage, is the external work needed to bring a charge from one location to another location in an electric field (Measured in Volt)
Length - Length is the measurement or extent of something from end to end. (Measured in Meter)

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Electric Potential Difference: 18 Volt --> 18 Volt No Conversion Required
Electric potential difference through other terminal: 50 Volt --> 50 Volt No Conversion Required
Length: 3 Meter --> 3 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

x = (V-V_B)/l --> (18-50)/3

Evaluating ... ...

x = -10.6666666666667

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

-10.6666666666667 Volt per Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

-10.6666666666667 Volt per Meter <-- Potential Gradient

What is potentiometer and how potential gradient in it calculated ?

A potentiometer is a linear conductor of uniform cross-section with a steady current set up in it. This maintains a uniform potential gradient along the length of the wire. Any potential difference which is less than the potential difference maintained across the potentiometer can be measured using this. The wire should have high resistivity and low expansion coefficient. x=(V_A - V)/L = ℰ / (R+r) .R/L
