Basic Principles Of Potentiometers Variable Resistors

Potentiometer Preset Potentiometers And Rheostats

However when a is between the ends a lower resistance at rl will reduce the voltage available at the wiper and therefore across rl.

Load resistor potentiometer. What impact could this effect have on a circuit we might build where we expect the potentiometer to output a certain voltage corresponding to a specific wiper position. It should be easy to see that at either end the load resistor will make no difference to the output voltage. Challenge your students to explain the significance of the reduced voltage from the potentiometer in the presence of a load the 33 kw resistor.

Ive plotted the curve for a 10k pot with 1k 5k 10k and 1m load resistance. Ohmite potentiometers are provided up to 2 watts and resistance control up to 5 megohms. With multiple options available it is easy to fit the proper ohmite potentiometer into your application.

Several options are available and include multiple shaft lengths logarithmic scales and tandem units. Today potentiometers are much smaller and much more accurate than those early large and bulky variable resistances and as with most electronic components there are many different types and names ranging from variable resistor preset trimmer rheostat and of course variable potentiometer. Potentiometers variable resistors ship same day.
