[amp_mcq option1=”as long as possible” option2=”as short as possible” option3=”neither too small not too large” option4=”very thick” correct=”option1″]<\/p>\n
The correct answer is: A. as long as possible.<\/p>\n
A potentiometer is a three-terminal resistor with a sliding contact that forms an adjustable voltage divider. If the voltage across the resistor is known, and the resistance of the potentiometer is known, then the voltage across the sliding contact can be calculated.<\/p>\n
The accuracy of a potentiometer depends on the resistance of the slide wire. The longer the slide wire, the greater the resistance, and the more accurate the potentiometer will be.<\/p>\n
Option B is incorrect because a shorter slide wire would have less resistance and would be less accurate.<\/p>\n
Option C is incorrect because the size of the slide wire does not affect its accuracy.<\/p>\n
Option D is incorrect because the thickness of the slide wire does not affect its accuracy.<\/p>\n
In conclusion, the slide wire of a potentiometer should be as long as possible in order to achieve high accuracy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
