What is the difference between normal resistance and potentiometer?
Resistors are either fixed value, or variable. A variable resistor has three terminals; one at either end and one attached to a moving 'wiper', and can be connected either as a potentiometer or as a rheostat. So 'potentiometers' and a 'rheostats' are different applications for variable resistors. A potentiometer uses all three terminals, and is used to control levels of potential; whereas a rheostat uses just two of the three terminals, and is used to control current.
Define potentiometer?
A dual potentiometer is nothing but a potentiometer which has TWO channels.. Like two INs and two OUTs on the same unit.
What you mean by sensitivity of potentiometer?
Sensitivity of potentiometer: A potentiometer is said to be more sensitive, if it measures a small potential difference more accurately.
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 is the wiper contact of linear potentiometer represent?
The wiper sets the effective resistance of the potentiometer.
What are the names of the potentiometer sensors on a 1997 jeep wrangler?
The throttle position sensor is a potentiometer.
The potentiometer is which type of tranducer?
The potentiometer is a position tranducer. It forms a resistance divider, proportional to position.
What type of speed control system uses a wire -wound potentiometer?
A potentiometer is another name for a variable resister used for voltage dividing. Potentiometers have three tabs on them The two outer most tabs have the full resistance of the device across them. The center tab is connected to the wiper that slides across the surface of the resister. A voltage is applied to the two outside tabs on the potentiometer. A voltage of your choosing will appear across either the left tab to the center wiper tab or from the right tab and the center wiper tab. A potentiometer of this type is used to control the speed output of variable frequency drives. A 10K potentiometer has 10VDC applied across the two outside tabs If the drive sees the full 10 volts it allows the drive to go to full output and the motor will run at full speed. With the potentiometer's center tab wiper at half position a voltage of 5 VDC will appear to the drive. When the drive sees the 5 volts it tells the drive to go to half speed output and the motor will run at half speed. This potentiometer is linear so no matter where the wiper is positioned, the motor speed will follow the potentiometer settings from 1% right up to 100%
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.
