Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation:
A potentiometer uses a long wire of uniform cross-section and composition. When a constant steady current flows through it, Ohm's law (V = IR) and the resistance formula (R = rhoL/A) combine to give V = I(rho/A)L. Since I, rho, and A are constant, the potential drop V is strictly directly proportional to the length L of the wire.
