A potentiometer and a rheostat are two different applications for a variable resistor.
A potentiometer is a variable resistor, connected (using its three terminals) as a variable potential divider.
A rheostat is a variable resistor, connected (using two of its three terminals) to adjust current.

Is a pot a insulator?
The term, `pot' usually refers to a potentiometer, which is another word for an adjustable control, such as a volume control, color tint, etc.
Why do you measure emf with a potentiometer not with voltmeter?
EMF (E''electromotive Force'') is another term for Volts, hence the E in electronic formulas and EMF is measured with a volt meter. A potentiometer is not a meter at all, it is a variable resistor
What type of transducer Is potentiometer?
what type of transducer potentiometer
What are uses of potentiometer?
A potentiometer is a variable resistor used in electronics.
Define potentiometer?
A dual potentiometer is nothing but a potentiometer which has TWO channels.. Like two INs and two OUTs on the same unit.
Define dual potentiometer?
A dual potentiometer is nothing but a potentiometer which has TWO channels.. Like two INs and two OUTs on the same unit.
Why potentiometer is called passive transducer?
because potentiometer generate a own current
What is sensitivity of a potentiometer?
Sensitivity of potentiometer means~ smallest potential difference that can be measured with the help of it.
What are the names of the potentiometer sensors on a 1997 jeep wrangler?
The throttle position sensor is a potentiometer.
What is the wiper contact of linear potentiometer represent?
The wiper sets the effective resistance of the potentiometer.
The potentiometer is which type of tranducer?
The potentiometer is a position tranducer. It forms a resistance divider, proportional to position.
What is the senstivity of a potentiometer?
The volt drop across one mm of potentiometer is the sensitivity of the device. If it is calibrated in such a way that each mm of the potentiometer wire has a drop of 0.001 V then it is so sensitive.
