potentiometer

listen to the pronunciation of potentiometer
İngilizce - İngilizce
a user-adjustable variable resistor that functions as a voltage divider
an instrument that measures a voltage by opposing it with a precise fraction of a known voltage, and without drawing current from the unknown source
a three terminal device with a wiper that is positioned along a resistive element; effectively making a voltage divider The Softpot is a membrane potentiometer that is hermitically sealed and can be added to a membrane switch panel
A variable resistor having three terminals and a movable wiper Precision potentiometers can be used to create a variable resistance proportional to angular or linear displacement
a measuring instrument for measuring direct current electromotive forces
( POT) A three terminal rheostat, or resistor with one or more adjustable sliding contacts, that function as an adjustable voltage divider Typically used to manually control the operating speed of a drive
a variable resistor used to alter voltage
A variable resistor made with either carbon or wire wound material which attenuates a signal 2
An encoding position sensing device for manipulators which produces a voltage proportional to the shaft position to measure joint displacement Its uses are limited due to poor resolution, linearity, and noise susceptibility
An instrument for measuring differences in electric potential
A variable voltage divider or a resistance with an adjustable slider by which voltage can be varied between two outputs
Variable resistor Has three terminals The two ends of the resistor and the slider or moving arm
a three terminal device with a wiper that is positioned along a resistive element; effectively making a voltage divider
{i} instrument for measuring electrical potential (Electricity)
An instrument for measuring or adjusting electrical potential
Often referred to as a "pot," it is an electrical device consisting of a resistive strip and a variable sweeper The resistance strip is equal to the pot's value (250K, 500K, 1 Meg, etc ) and its ends are the two outer lugs on a pot (lug 1 and lug 3) The middle lug (lug 2) is connected to the "sweeper" which travels along the resistance strip as the pot shaft is rotated The location of the sweeper will determine the amount of resistance between lugs 2 and 3, and 2 and 1 The pots used in guitar electronics are generally "audio taper " This means that the resistive strip has a special logarithmic taper to compensate for the way the human ear perceives changes in volume This allows the musician to vary the volume or tone of an electric guitar in a smooth manner
An electrical device the resistance of which can be manually adjusted; used for manual adjustment of electrical circuits and as a transducer for linear or rotary position
a variable resistor It usually has three terminals: the two end terminals, across which the entire resistance appears, and a third terminal, the "wiper", which moves to a different spot on the resistor as the shaft is turned In this manner, the resistance between the wiper and one end terminal gets smaller while, at the same time, the resistance between the wiper and the other end gets larger This allows the potentiometer to be used as a variable voltage divider, for use in attenuators, such as volume controls or tone controls
An instrument for measuring or comparing electrial potentials or electro-motive forces
A variable resistor made with either carbon or wire wound material that attenuates a signal
An adjustable resistor used to vary the sensing distance of the touchless faucet
A variable resistor
1 A variable resistor often used to control a circuit 2 A balancing bridge used to measure voltage
(commonly called a pot) a circuit element that can be adjusted to provide varying amounts of resistance
A three terminal variable resistance
An electronic component that used to provide variable control over an electronic circuit Usually controlled by a rotary knob which can be turned by hand, a volume control is a good example of this A potentiometer is often called a pot for short
A passive device (variable resistor) used to vary voltage between a minimum and maximum level The standard speed pot is a 300° or single-turn Operators control the speed of a motor from the potentiometer connected to a drive Also, board-mounted trimmer pots allow users to make calibrations
a resistor with three terminals, the third being an adjustable center terminal; used to adjust voltages in radios and TV sets
A variable resistor with three terminals-one on each end of the resistor and one "wiper" which contacts the resistor midpoint to indicate a variable position Often used in wind vanes
a resistor with three terminals, the third being an adjustable center terminal; used to adjust voltages in radios and TV sets a measuring instrument for measuring direct current electromotive forces
A variable resistor (rotary or linear) used to control volume, tone, or other functions of an electronic device
A device for the measurement of electric potential when no current is flowing through a circuit
