What is the purpose of a potentiometer?

A potentiometer is a type of position sensor. They are used to measure displacement in any direction. Linear potentiometers linearly measure displacement and rotary potentiometers measure rotational displacement. Also known as a Potmeter or Pot, it consists of a resistive element called the track and a sliding contact called the wiper internally where end terminals are attached to the resistive element. They are used to accurately measure voltage and help achieve a variable voltage from a fixed-voltage source. Common Examples of Potentiometers are: Measuring Position on a gaming joystick Controlling audio equipment using volume controls


Explain the scope and visibility of variables in c plus plus function?

If you define a variable inside of your function, the variable can be referred and used only inside of that function. It means that you will not able to use the variable in another function (including main). Area of code where your variable can be used after declaration is usually called visibility of the variable.


Suppose an external variable is defined outside of function A and accessed within the function Does it matter whether the external variable is defined before or after the function. Explain?

No the two work together REALLY

What is a variable used for in Python?

A variable is used to store information. As an example say you are asking someone for their favorite food, and want to store the answer in a variable called favoriteFood: favoriteFood = input("What is your favorite food?") Now if you print the value of favoriteFood (using print(FavoriteFood)) you will see that it has been saved in that variable. You can store any type in a variable, such as number, a string, or even an object.

What is what you want to explain in experiment called?

The aspect you want to explain in an experiment is called the "dependent variable." This variable is the outcome or response that you measure to assess the effect of changes made to the independent variable, which is manipulated during the experiment. Essentially, the dependent variable reflects the results of the experimental conditions.

Explain the principle of null-method of measurement?

The null method is used in measuring the unknown EMF of batteries. The method is about using a potentiometer circuit with the battery of a known and then an unknown EMF connected to it one after the other and locating, in each case, the position of the 'null point'; the point on the potentiometer circuit where the current through the battery is zero.
