  2. Potentiometer (measuring instrument) - Wikipedia

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

    The principle of a potentiometer is that the potential dropped across a segment of a wire of uniform cross-section carrying a constant current is directly proportional to its length. The potentiometer is a simple device used to measure the electrical potentials (or compare the e.m.f of a cell).

  3. Potentiometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potentiometer

    Pot: abbreviation for potentiometer. Slide pot or slider pot: a potentiometer that is adjusted by sliding the wiper left or right (or up and down, depending on the installation), usually with a finger or thumb; thumb pot or thumbwheel pot: a small rotating potentiometer meant to be adjusted infrequently by means of a small thumbwheel

  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.

  5. Trimmer (electronics) - Wikipedia

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

    Trimmer potentiometers or "trimpots" A trimmer, or preset, is a miniature adjustable electrical component. It is meant to be set correctly when installed in some device, and never seen or adjusted by the device's user. Trimmers can be variable resistors (potentiometers), variable capacitors, or trimmable inductors.

  6. Motorized potentiometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorized_potentiometer

    Motorized potentiometers are used in industrial controls. [1] Motorized potentiometers may be used for remote control applications. [3] Motorized potentiometers can be used to build electrical/electronic analog computers. The motorized potentiometer can act as a computing element, but also as a way to convert a physical into an electrical value.

  7. Mathematical methods in electronics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_methods_in...

    Mathematical Methods in Electronics Engineering involves applying mathematical principles to analyze, design, and optimize electronic circuits and systems. Key areas include: [1] [2] Linear Algebra: Used to solve systems of linear equations that arise in circuit analysis. Applications include network theory and the analysis of electrical ...

  8. 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 ...

  9. List of resistors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_resistors

    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 ...
