Detailed Solution

For a potentiometer, primary circuit emf E₁ should be greater than the secondary circuit emf E₂ or else the null point will exceed the length of the potentiometer wire.

Either the positive terminals of both E₁ and E₂ or the negative terminals of both E₁ and E₂ must be joined to one end of potentiometer wire.
