Why is potentiometer preferred over voltmeter to measure emf

Answer»

While a VOLTMETER DRAWS a small current from the cell for its operation.So it measures the terminal p.d. in a closed circuit which is LESS than the emf of a cell.That is why a POTENTIOMETER is preferred over a voltmeter for measuring the emf of a cell.
