10k Variable Resistor Potentiometer Volume Type

Product details

A 10k Variable Resistor Potentiometer is the most significant component found in many electrical devices for controlling the tone, bass as well as volume. This is due to the fact that resistors can be connect together with the other components to form filters for the desire level. They can also be use in computer monitors for color or positioning as well as dimming or switching lamps. This is achieved through digital to analog and analog to digital circuits; one additional advantage is that the knob can be turned instead of typing a value every time you want to change the tint or brightness. Types of variable Resistors A variable resistor is a resistor in which the electric resistance value is adjustable. A variable resistor is an electro-mechanical transducer that generally works by sliding a contact (wiper) over a resistive element. A variable resistor is use because a potential divider with 3 terminals is call as a potentiometer. When it has two terminals, it acts as a variable resistor, which is Rheostat. An electronically controlled variable resistor controls electronically instead of using a mechanical action. This resistor is call as a digital potentiometer.. Types of Variable Resistors Potentiometer A potentiometer is an ordinary variable resistor. It functions as a potential divider, which is use to generate a voltage signal depending on the location of the potentiometer. This is the signal that can be use for a very wide variety of applications including an amplifier gain control, measurement of the distance or angles, tuning of the circuits and many more. Whenever variable resistors are use to tune or calibrate a circuit or its application or trimmer potentiometers or trimpots are use, these are generally less rate potentiometers which are mount on the circuit board, and are adjustable by using a screwdriver. Potentiometer Resistor Rheostat Rheostats are much relate to the potentiometers in terms of construction, but they are not use as a potential divider, instead they are use as variable resistors. They can use only 2 terminals rather than 3 terminals potentiometers. One connection is connect at one end of the resistive element, the other is at the wiper of the variable resistor. In the ancient times, rheostats were use as the power controlling devices, which were connect in series with the load, just like a bulb. At present rheostats are not...
