- A measuring instrument for measuring direct current electromotive forces
- A resistor with three terminals, the third being an adjustable center terminal; used to adjust voltages in radios and TV sets
- A potentiometer is an instrument for measuring the potential (voltage) in a circuit. Before the introduction of the moving coil and digital volt meters, potentiometers were used in measuring voltage, hence the '-meter' part of their name.
- (Potentiometers) The slide buttons on a graphic equalizer.
- A volume wheel or screw set control which allows for fine adjustments to a hearing aid.
- An adjustable resistor used to vary the sensing distance of the touchless faucet.
- A variable resistor often used to control a circuit.
- A variable resistor, either in rotary or linear form. Used as a position indicator in input devices and feedback systems. Do you still have a stereo with a rotary volume control? That's a potentiometer!
- A potentiometer is a resistor that is usually controlled directly by the user, allowing the amount of voltage that it resists to be set by a dial or other physical control. This is commonly used in knobs and dials.
