Variable Resistors -- Potentiometers
• Potentiometer – a three-terminal resistor whose value can be adjusted (within set limits) by the user
• Rac = Rab + Rbc

Potentiometer Taper
EGR 101 5
Linear – resistance varies at a constant rate
Nonlinear – resistance changes at an increasing rate

Potentiometer Ratings
EGR 101 6
Resistance Rating
Printed in straightforward manner: 5 k
Printed as code: 502 = 50 x 102 = 5 kFirst two digits are the digits in the resistance valueThird digit – number of zeros
Power Dissipation Rating – consult manufacturer's catalog

Multiturn Potentiometers
EGR 101 8
Much better resolution
Smaller percentage of change per degree of rotation

Rheostats
EGR 101 10
A variable resistance used to control current
Usually a two-terminal variable resistor
Potentiometer can be wired as a rheostat
