What is the effect of increasing the temperature on the resistance of the potentiometer wire?
Correct Answer: Resistance increases with temperature.
- Step 1: Understand what a potentiometer wire is. It is a type of wire used to measure voltage or resistance.
- Step 2: Know that resistance is how much a material opposes the flow of electric current.
- Step 3: Learn that temperature affects the atoms in the wire. When temperature increases, the atoms vibrate more.
- Step 4: Realize that these increased vibrations make it harder for electric current to flow through the wire.
- Step 5: Conclude that as the temperature goes up, the resistance of the potentiometer wire also goes up.
