(electronics) A user-adjustable three-terminal variable resistor that can be used as a voltage divider.
A typical single-turn potentiometer
(physics) An instrument that measures a voltage by opposing it with a precise fraction of a known voltage, and without drawing current from the unknown source.
Dial potentiometer, with built-in galvanometer and reference voltage source
(electronics) A user-adjustable three-terminal variable resistor that can be used as a voltage divider.
A potentiometer being calibrated and then measuring an unknown voltage. R1 is the resistance of the entire resistance wire. The arrow head represents the moving wiper.
