what is potential gradient? determine potential gradient across AB in a potentiometer 1 ?
Potential gradient:
Potential gradient is defined as the change in potential with respect to distance.
dV/dx,dV/dy,dV/dz represents potential gradient distance w.r.t x axis,y axis and z axis respectively.
The SI unit of potential gradient is volt metre-1 (Vm-1).
In the second part of your question diagram is missing from which you have mentioned AB. Please post the complete question so that we can assist you.
