$A$ potentiometer is an ideal device for measuring potential difference because

  • A
    It uses a sensitive galvanometer
  • B
    It does not disturb the potential difference it measures
  • C
    It is an elaborate arrangement
  • D
    It has a long wire hence heat developed is quickly radiated
