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.
What else can I help you with?
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 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.

Why potentiometer is called passive transducer?
because potentiometer generate a own current
How can the resistance of a potentiometer be adjusted to control the volume of a speaker?
The resistance of a potentiometer can be adjusted by turning the knob or slider on the potentiometer. By changing the resistance, the volume of the speaker can be controlled.
What is sensitivity of a potentiometer?
Sensitivity of potentiometer means~ smallest potential difference that can be measured with the help of it.

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.
