You are provided with a potentiometer x y; a jockey, J; a standard resistor, R, and other necessary apparatus. Connect a circuit as shown in the diagram above. Close the key. Read and record the current 10 when J is not in contact with XY. Let J make contact with XY at C, such that XC = l= 25 cm. Close the key. Read and record the current l. Evaluate I\(^{-1}\). Repeat the procedure for four other values of I = 40, 55, 70, and 85 cm. Tabulate your readings. Plot a graph of l on the vertical axis against I\(^{-1}\) on the horizontal axis. From your graph, deduce the value of I when l\(^{-1}\) = 0. Evaluate \(\frac{|O}{1}\) State two precautions taken to ensure accurate results.
