  2. Potentiometer (measuring instrument) - Wikipedia

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

    A potentiometer is an instrument for measuring voltage or 'potential difference' by comparison of an unknown voltage with a known reference voltage. If a sensitive indicating instrument is used, very little current is drawn from the source of the unknown voltage.

  3. Potentiometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potentiometer

    Linear taper potentiometers [4] are used when the division ratio of the potentiometer must be proportional to the angle of shaft rotation (or slider position), for example, controls used for adjusting the centering of the display on an analog cathode-ray oscilloscope. Precision potentiometers have an accurate relationship between resistance and ...

    Psychometrics is a field of study within psychology concerned with the theory and technique of measurement.Psychometrics generally covers specialized fields within psychology and education devoted to testing, measurement, assessment, and related activities. [1]

  6. Digital potentiometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_potentiometer

    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.

  7. 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.

    An example of a product might be a painting, a song, a dance or television. Whereas use traces tell us more about the behavior of an individual, products speak more to contemporary cultural themes. Examining physical trace evidence is an invaluable tool to psychologists, for they can gain information in this manner that they might not normally ...

    Psychological statistics is application of formulas, theorems, numbers and laws to psychology. Statistical methods for psychology include development and application statistical theory and methods for modeling psychological data. These methods include psychometrics, factor analysis, experimental designs, and Bayesian statistics. The article ...
