For the measurement of potential difference,a potentiometer is preferred in comparison to a voltmeter because:
- APotentiometer is more sensitive than a voltmeter.
- BThe resistance of a potentiometer is less than a voltmeter.
- CPotentiometer is cheaper than a voltmeter.
- DPotentiometer does not draw any current from the circuit.
