Potentiometers, Variable ResistorsPotentiometers, also known as pots or variable resistors, are electronic components that are used to control the flow of electrical current in a circuit. These components consist of a resistive element, a rotating or sliding contact (wiper), and two or three electrical terminals. By adjusting the position of the wiper, the resistance between the terminals can be varied, allowing the user to control the current flow in the circuit. Potentiometers are commonly used in a wide range of applications, including volume and tone controls in audio equipment, position and speed control in motor systems, and calibration and adjustment in electronic devices. Potentiometers are available in a range of sizes, resistance values, and mechanical configurations to suit different applications.
