adjustable resistor is a resistor whose resistance value can be adjusted. For occasions where the circuit current needs to be adjusted or the circuit resistance needs to be changed, the adjustable resistor can change the characteristics of the signal generator, dim the lights, start the motor or control its speed, mainly by changing its own resistance and controlling the series circuit The current in the circuit can protect some electrical components.
adjustable resistors are usually used in circuits that need to be adjusted frequently, and play the role of adjusting voltage, adjusting current or signal control, etc. Its main parameters are basically the same as those of fixed resistors. According to different uses, the resistance material of adjustable resistors can be metal wire, metal sheet, carbon film or conductive liquid. For the general size of the current, the commonly used metal type adjustable resistor, in the case of a small current, the use of carbon film type adjustable resistor; when the current is large, the electrolytic type is more applicable. The electrodes of this adjustable resistor are immersed in a conductive liquid.
potentiometer is a special form of adjustable resistor, which balances unknown voltage or unknown potential with each other, thus measuring the size of unknown voltage or unknown potential difference. The more commonly used potentiometer is just a resistor with two fixed connectors, the third connector is connected to an adjustable brush, and another purpose of potentiometer is to use it as audio control in audio equipment.
Adjustable resistance can play the role of resistance when used in electronic circuits. The difference between it and general resistance is that its resistance value can be continuously changed within a certain range. In some occasions where the resistance value is required to change but not often, adjustable resistance can be used. Due to its structure and use, the failure rate of adjustable resistance is significantly higher than that of ordinary resistance. Adjustable resistance is usually used in small signal circuits, and signal adjustable resistance is also used in a few occasions such as tube amplifiers.
