Why should the cross section of potentiometer wire be uniform? 

Why should the cross section of potentiometer wire be
uniform? 

If the  cross sectional area of potentiometer wire is not uniform   , then  potential gradient will not be same  at all places on the potentiometer wire. Consequently, the measured value of potential difference will not be correct.
