For the potentiometer circuit shown in figure points X and Y represent the two terminals of an unknown emf A student observed that when the jockey is moved from the end A to the end B of the potentiometer wire the deflection in the galvanometer remains in the same direction What are the two possible faults in the circuit that could result in this observation A X Y OG B If the galvanometer deflection at the end B is i more ii less than that of the end A which of the two faults listed above would be there in the circuit Give reasons in support of your answer in each case
