电位器知识（Potentiometer knowledge） potentiometer Potentiometer (English: Potentiometer, also referred to as a popular Pot, literal translation, Chinese potentiometer) are often called variable resistors (VR, Variable Resistor) or variable resistor, is one of the three terminals, including two fixed contacts and a sliding contact point, can change the sliding end and electronic parts two fixed end resistance value through sliding, can use the formation pressure ratio is different, change the potential sliding point, hence the name. As for the variable resistor only two terminals (rheostat) (or has sliding end with one fixed end connected, only two foreign real effective terminal) is not called potentiometer, can only be called a variable resistance (variable resistor). The most common is the use of potentiometer control for various acoustic sound source device volume control or electronic equipment of all kinds of position and power, can also be done for sensor position or angle, or as a tungsten lamp dimmer or heating power regulator control components etc.. However, some applications, such as the latter in the preceding example, usually use potentiometers in the form of two terminal variable resistance (rheostat). A common carbon film or ceramic film potentiometer can be contacted, rotated or slid with a printed film through copper foil or copper sheet, resulting in different resistances at the output and input terminals. Larger power potentiometers are wound by wire. Potentiometers can sometimes be combined with other functions, such as a potentiometer for certain volume control switches, which can act as a function of volume and power switches, usually with the power off at the smallest end of the volume. Variable resistor, as the name suggests, is the ability to adjust resistance. When the circuit is connected to the middle of the resistor, the resistance is only half of the original, and the original size of the resistor is when it receives the most edge. Look, whe
