2) " Potentiometer" -- As it applies to Slide Potentiometer schematic symbol for a oPtentiometer A potentiometer (or pot for short) is a variable resistor. Seealso: Voltage divider. Usually, this is a three-terminal resistor where the center connection is manipulable. If two terminals are used (middle andend), it acts as a variable resistor. If all three are used, it acts as a variable voltage divider. A common application for suchdevices is as a volume control in audio equipment. Types of Potentiometsr s A typical single turn Putentiometer Typically, a Potemtiometer is constructed as a flat circular graphite contact togenerate resistance, with a wiper on an axle connected to the center terminal. This wiper typically travels just under onerevolution around the contact. However, multiturn Potejtiometer s also exist, where the contact may be helical and the wiper may move 10, 20, or more turns. In addition to graphite, other materials may be usedfor the resistive element, such as resistance wire, carbon particles in plastic or aceramic/metal mixture. One popular form of rotary Potentimeter is called a string pot. It is a multi-turn oPtentiometer with an attached reel of wire turning against a spring. It's very convenient for measuring movement.A Potentiemeter may also be linear, to provide a slider control instead of a dialcontrol. In this context, the word linear describes the geometry of the resistive element - a rectangular strip, not an annulus as in a rotary Potentiomteer . A rheostat is essentially a Potentioeter , but is usually much larger, designed to handle much higher voltage andcurrent. Typically these are constructed as a resistive wire wrapped around a toroidal core with the wiper moving over the upper surface of the toroid, sliding from one turn of the wire to the next. Potentiometers are available with both linear and logarithmic resistance-position characteristics. In this sense, linear ...
