When we want to regulate somthing ;we use variable resistors for example :volume control in radios and volume in headset. Also , the variable resistors can forms a potential devider in which the overall resistance between the two end points remain the same,but the ratio of the two resistors in the legs changes.so the variable resistor is affectively a potential divider.

Where is a variable resistor in your home?
If you have a light switch where you can brightener it or dim it that is a VARIABLE RESISTOR.
What is a resistor whose value can varied over a range of value called?
Variable resistor. The value of the variable resistor can be changed at any given moment.
What do you call the variable resistor when it is set up to alter the size of the voltage over the resistor?
A potentiometer.
Does a potentiometer contain a variable resistor?
Typically, yes.
What does a variable risistor do?
It is a resistor which resistance is changeable, such as a potentiometer.
What is advantages and disadvantage of potentiometer?
Potentiators works well as a voltage resistor or variable resistor. It is often used for volume controls on a radio, but they can be cumbersome.
How do you test a variable resistor?

Does a variable resistor have a bias?
A variable resistor means that the resistance can be varied, usually by using a slide. A fixed resistor can not be varied.
Is Light dependent resistor an example of resistor?
yes, a variable resistor
Function of a variable resistor?
Variable resistor is an resistor that can change its resistance manually, by rotating a handle or a screw.
What is the difference between a fixed resistor and a variable resistor?
its the colour of the fixed and the variable we define it by its power and name
What is a variable resister?
The volume knob on an audio device (radio, TV) is an example of a variable resistor. A variable resistor is also known as a potentiometer.
