In a potentiometer experiment, the null point is obtained at a particular point for a cell on a potentiometer wire of length $L$. If the length of the potentiometer wire is increased without changing the cell or the driving source, the balancing length will:

  • A
    increase
  • B
    decrease
  • C
    not change
  • D
    becomes zero
