A potentiometer circuit is set up as shown in the figure below. The potential gradient across the potentiometer wire is k volt/cm. Ammeter present in the circuit reads 1.0 A when the two-way key is switched off. The balance points, when the key between the terminals (i) 1 and 2 (ii) 1 and 3, is plugged in, are found to be at lengths l1 cm and l2 cm respectively. The magnitudes of the resistors R and X in ohm, are then, respectively, equal to: 

1. k(l2-l1) and kl2

2. kl1 and k(l2-l1)

3. k(l2-l1) and kl1

4. kl1 and kl2

A potentiometer is an accurate and versatile device to make electrical measurements of E.M.F. because the method involves:

1. the potential gradients.
2. a condition of no current flow through the galvanometer.
3. a condition of cells, galvanometer, and resistances.
4. the cells.
