Potentiometer
resistive element
The
two resistors, where the position
of the wiper determines the ratio
of the resistance of the first
resistor to the second resistor.
In 1872, Thomas Edison
the first potentiometer.
A potentiometer
adjustable resistor with 3 terminals.
Two terminals are connected to
opposite ends of the resistive
element, while the third is
