A potentiometer, called pot for short, is an electrical component that acts as a variable voltage divider.

Can you cut one leg of a potentiometer?

Yes, you can cut one leg of a potentiometer, but it will likely render the component non-functional. A potentiometer has three terminals: two are connected to the resistive track, and one is the wiper that adjusts resistance. Cutting one leg disrupts the electrical connections necessary for it to operate properly. If modifications are needed, it's better to use a different component or a new potentiometer.

Why the plot for output voltage from potentiometer as shaft position is a straight line?

Because the potentiometer has a linear curve for resistance. This won't be true for non-linear potentiometers, such as in a volume control application, which needs to be logarithmic.


What is the percentage non-linearity error with a potentiometer of resistance 550W which results from there being a load of resistance 10 kW when it is at a displacement which is half its maximum slid?

To calculate the percentage non-linearity error in a potentiometer, you need to consider the voltage division between the potentiometer and the load. At half displacement, the effective resistance of the potentiometer is 275 Ω. The load resistance of 10 kΩ significantly affects the output voltage, leading to a non-linearity error. The percentage non-linearity error can be determined using the formula: ( \text{Error} = \frac{V_{actual} - V_{ideal}}{V_{ideal}} \times 100% ). However, without specific voltage values, the exact percentage cannot be calculated here.
