Question:

Which of the following statement is correct for a potentiometer?

Options:

It cannot measure resistance

It cannot measure the capacitance of a capacitor

It cannot measure current

It cannot measure potential difference

Correct Answer:

It cannot measure the capacitance of a capacitor

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → It cannot measure the capacitance of a capacitor

A potentiometer works by balancing a known voltage against an unknown voltage, making it suitable for measuring potential difference in a circuit. It is not designed to directly measure capacitance.
