In a potentiometer experiment, the balance point is achieved when no current flows through the galvanometer. This condition ensures accurate EMF measurement because:
the cell's internal resistance does not affect the reading.
the potentiometer's resistance is negligible.
the galvanometer's resistance is very high.
the standard cell's EMF is accurately known.
