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.
