One of the symbols used on circuit diagrams to represent a potentiometer, a type of resistor that is used as a voltage divider. The image is oriented for horizontal presentation.

Digital potentiometer schematic symbol example. A digital potentiometer (also called a resistive digital-to-analog converter, [1] or informally a digipot) is a digitally-controlled electronic component that mimics the analog functions of a potentiometer. It is often used for trimming and scaling analog signals by microcontrollers.
Integrated circuit (IC) shorter "U" (unit) is preferred instead of "IC" V: Vacuum tube: VR: Voltage regulator (voltage reference), or variable resistor (potentiometer / trimmer / rheostat) voltage regulators are often "U" for IC, pots and trimmers often "R" for resistor X

The 'log pot', that is, a potentiometer has a resistance, taper, or, "curve" (or law) of a logarithmic (log) form, is used as the volume control in audio power amplifiers, where it is also called an "audio taper pot", because the amplitude response of the human ear is approximately logarithmic. It ensures that on a volume control marked 0 to 10 ...
A potentiometer (colloquially, pot) is a three-terminal resistor with a continuously adjustable tapping point controlled by rotation of a shaft or knob or by a linear slider. [14] The name potentiometer comes from its function as an adjustable voltage divider to provide a variable potential at the terminal connected to the tapping point. Volume ...
