1. A potentiometer is generally considered superior to a voltmeter for measuring potential difference mainly because?

A voltmeter simply has too much internal resistance

A potentiometer draws essentially no current from the source being measured

A potentiometer is simply more sensitive than a voltmeter

A voltmeter has a small dial and compact size

Since a potentiometer measures voltage using a null-deflection, balance-point method, it draws no current from the circuit at all — unlike a voltmeter, which always draws at least some small current, slightly disturbing what it measures.
