Potentiometers

Potentiometers A potentiometer is a three-terminal resistor with a sliding or rotating contact that forms an adjustable voltage divider. If only two terminals are used, one end and the wiper, it acts as a variable resistor or rheostat.   Potentiometers Potentiometers Potentiometers and Rheostats create a change in their resistive value when a connected shaft is physically […]
