A Levels Physics (9702)•9702/11/M/J/21

Explanation
Potentiometer requires precise circuit parameters for emf measurement Steps:
- Identify the standard potentiometer setup: known emf E drives current through uniform wire OR, with jockey S for null deflection via galvanometer when connected to unknown cell X.
- At balance, potential drop across length OS equals emf of X, given by ε_X = (l/L) × ε_E, where l is balancing length, L total length.
- Note labeling discrepancy: wire called OR in description but QR in options, suggesting possible figure-specific component.
- Conclude requirements from formula: uniformity and emf comparison are key, but circuit details ambiguous without figure.
Not enough information to confirm B over other options due to incomplete circuit description and labeling inconsistency.
Final answer: Not enough information.
