Working Mechanism

  • Potentiometers work by varying the resistance in a circuit.
  • They consist of a resistive element, a resistive wire and a sliding or rotating contact which taps a portion of the resistive element's potential.
  • By changing the position of the wiper along the resistive element, the resistance changes.
  • This change alters the voltage or current in the circuit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a potentiometer and a rheostat?

A potentiometer is a variable resistor with three terminals, while a rheostat has only two terminals. The potentiometer controls the voltage in a circuit, while a rheostat controls the current.

How do I select the best potentiometer for my application?

Consider factors like resistance value, operating temperature range, mechanical life and electrical specifications (power rating & tolerance).

How to maintain a potentiometer?

  • Keep the unit clean of dust & debris. Clean it with a soft, dry cloth.
  • Store the potentiometer in a dry environment and protect it from exposure to water or other liquids.
  • Over time, the connections between the potentiometer and the circuit can become loose or corroded, affecting performance. Check these connections periodically.
