It is a type of resistor called a potentiometer, which is a resistor with a movable center tap. The full volume signal is applied across the full resistor and the variable volume signal is taken off the movable center tap.
A cement resistor is typically used as a power resistor (a resistor whose power rating is greater than 1 W).
A voltmeter can be connected in parallel with a resistor to show the voltage across the resistor.
A series dropping resistor is a resistor that limits the amount of current flow in a circuit.
The first 3 band on a resistor indicate the value of that resistor.

The volume control knob on a radio is an example of a variable resistor. By turning a knob, the resistance is altered and the volume (or current) is altered up or down.
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.

It is used to vary the voltage/current flow in a circuit.
A rheostat is a variable resistor. Examples are a volume control knob or an instrument panel dimmer switch. As the resistance is increased in the switch the volume will lower or the instrument panel lights will dim.
They key to volume control is a variable resistor. A variable resistor uses a resistance track with connections at both ends. There is wiper that moves along the track as the volume knob is turned. The tracks are usually rotary for volume knobs, or tracks for volume sliders. The variable resistor may be used as a rheostat, which means that only two terminals are used (the wiper and one end of the track). By turning the knob, the wiper sweeps across the track, which will effectively vary the resistance from 0 to maximum. A rheostat is usually used to vary current so they would be useful for varying the brightness of a lamp. A variable resistor can also be used as a potentiometer, which uses all three connections (both ends of track and wiper). If you connect the track terminals across a power supply, then the wiper terminal is used to provide a voltage, which can be varied from 0 to the maximum (the supply voltage). Potentiometers are usually used for amplifiers. Hope this helps
Hold the volume knob in. The clock will flash. Adjust the clock with the tuning knob while holding the volume knob in.
A variable resistor is used in cicuits to vary the current passing through the resistor. It is commonly used to change the value of current across a circuit, or to act as a voltage divider. They are commonly equiped with a knob outside of a cabinet, to enable the user to adjust the operation of a circuit, like a volume control on a radio or amplifier.
You change a variable resistor in the the tuning circuit. The value of the resistor dictates the frequency that the radio is receiving.
1. Control the volume of a speaker, i.e. the volume knob on a transistor radio. 2. If attached to a pedal or door hinge, you could use the measured resistance to determine the angle. This would need some calibration in order to be accurate however.
The radio code in the Chrysler grand Voyager can be entered by pushing in the volume knob. With the volume knob pushed in rotate the tuning knob to the desired code.
Turn the knob to the left.
