2. Potentiometer (measuring instrument) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potentiometer_(measuring...

   A potentiometer being calibrated and then measuring an unknown voltage. R 1 is the resistance of the entire resistance wire. The arrow head represents the moving wiper.. In this circuit, the ends of a uniform resistance wire R 1 are connected to a regulated DC supply V S for use as a voltage divider.

3. Trimmer (electronics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trimmer_(electronics)

   The skeleton potentiometer works like a regular circular potentiometer, but is stripped of its enclosure, shaft, and fixings. The full movement of a skeleton potentiometer is less than a single turn. The other type is the multi-turn potentiometer which moves the slider along the resistive track via a gearing arrangement. The gearing is such ...

4. String potentiometer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_potentiometer

   The string potentiometer may be connected as a three-wire tapped resistor (voltage divider), in a control circuit, or may be packaged with electronics to produce a measurement signal in a useful form, such as a variable voltage 0-10 VDC, variable current 4-20mA, pulse encoder, Bus (DeviceNet and Canbus) and RS-232 communications.

   It is also used in speed control of fans. 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.

   Potentiometers are differentiated by their electrical characteristics, of which the following are most important in an electric guitar: Value – the resistance between the two outer lugs. The most common values are 250 kΩ (for single-coil pickups) and 300–500 kΩ (for humbuckers), although values ranging from 50 kΩ to as high as 1 MΩ have ...

   An emotional Hunter hugged his Colorado head coach and former NFL cornerback Deion Sanders, among others, as he made his way up to the stage of the Heisman Trophy ceremony in New York.

9. Digital potentiometer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_potentiometer

   While quite similar to normal potentiometers, digital potentiometers are constrained by current limit in the range of tens of milliamperes. Also, most digital potentiometers limit the voltage range on the two input terminals (of the resistor) to the digital supply range (e.g. 0–5 VDC), so additional circuitry may be required to replace a conventional potentiometer, (although digital ...
