For comparing the $e.m.f.$'s of two cells with a potentiometer, a standard cell is used to develop a potential gradient along the wires. Which of the following possibilities would make the experiment unsuccessful
  • AThe $e.m.f.$ of the standard cell is larger than the $E$ $e.m.f.$'s of the two cells
  • B
    The diameter of the wires is the same and uniform throughout
  • C
    The number of wires is ten
  • DThe $e.m.f.$ of the standard cell is smaller than the $e.m.f.$'s of the two cells
