Typically used in either digital or analog applications, there are two main types of potentiometers: rotary and linear.
Linear - Rectangular strip that can be pulled up or down to obtain the required resistance.
It is often used to adjust the microphone output or volume of a sound system.
Rotary - The shaft forms the axis of the knob, and these parts are built into dimmer switches and speakers.
Rotating it (usually to the right) increases resistance and increases power output.
In this case, the output is light, sound, or voltage.
Function of a Potentiometer. Potentiometers, which are used in a variety of applications, function as resistors in electronic devices.
For example, a dimmer switch, which is used in place of a light switch, contains a potentiometer.
Depending on the direction it is turned, the resistance increases or decreases, which manipulates the light output from the bulb.
Another common use is as a volume switch for a speaker or sound system.
They are usually rotary or linear, but there are also different types of materials, such as:
