potentiometerpəˌtɛn ʃiˈɒm ɪ tər
potentiometer (n)
English Definitions:
potentiometer (noun)
a measuring instrument for measuring direct current electromotive forces
potentiometer, pot (noun)
a resistor with three terminals, the third being an adjustable center terminal; used to adjust voltages in radios and TV sets
potentiometer (Noun)
a user-adjustable variable resistor that functions as a voltage divider.
potentiometer (Noun)
an instrument that measures a voltage by opposing it with a precise fraction of a known voltage, and without drawing current from the unknown source.
Potentiometer
A potentiometer, informally a pot, is a three-terminal resistor with a sliding 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. A potentiometer measuring instrument is essentially a voltage divider used for measuring electric potential; the component is an implementation of the same principle, hence its name. Potentiometers are commonly used to control electrical devices such as volume controls on audio equipment. Potentiometers operated by a mechanism can be used as position transducers, for example, in a joystick. Potentiometers are rarely used to directly control significant power, since the power dissipated in the potentiometer would be comparable to the power in the controlled load.
Potentiometer
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. The measuring instrument called a potentiometer is essentially a voltage divider used for measuring electric potential (voltage); the component is an implementation of the same principle, hence its name. Potentiometers are commonly used to control electrical devices such as volume controls on audio equipment. Potentiometers operated by a mechanism can be used as position transducers, for example, in a joystick. Potentiometers are rarely used to directly control significant power (more than a watt), since the power dissipated in the potentiometer would be comparable to the power in the controlled load.
