Use the standard resistor symbol and then place an arrow across the resistor. The bottom of the arrow midpoint of the resistor and just below, the tip of the arrow (draw with an arrow head) just above the resistor. This represents the wiper of the variable resistor.

What are brightness and contrast in image processing?

Brightness and contrast represent a way to adjust an image. They come from the display technology, being common controls in all monitors. The color brightness/contrast are similar to the grayscale counterparts, in most cases being applied to all channels (even if from the physical point of view this is wrong - a transformation into HSI with adjustment of the I component would be correct -. For a grayscale image, brightness represents an image adjustment where a constant value is added to all pixel values. The contrast adjustament is a multiplication of the pixel values with a constant. Most of the image processing programs use a different scale, for example from 0 to 10. If you wish to experiment with it, you can do it photoshop, gimp. To apply a brightness/contrast correction to a bunch of images is easier with an image converter like AZImage - see related link.


Why are relay coils and contacts not shown in the same place on a schematic diagram?

In schematic diagrams, relay coils and contacts are typically shown in different locations to clearly differentiate their functions and to enhance readability. The coil represents the electromagnetic component that activates the relay, while the contacts illustrate the switch mechanism that controls the circuit. By separating them spatially, designers can easily follow the control logic and understand how the relay operates within the overall system. This layout helps avoid confusion and allows for more straightforward troubleshooting and analysis.


Why input is voltage and output is current in fet?

The input is a Gate that is essentially infinite impedance, so no current. The output is essentially the resistance between Source and Drain, which controls the current flowing through it.


What type of resistor has a movable clamp that allows the user to select an exact resistance value?

The type of resistor that has a movable clamp to select an exact resistance value is called a potentiometer. It functions as a variable resistor by allowing the user to adjust the resistance by moving the wiper along the resistive element. This makes it useful for applications such as volume controls in audio equipment and tuning circuits. Potentiometers can be found in various forms, including rotary and linear types.


If resistance is constant and voltage increases what happens to current?

You have it backwards, the resistance controls the current not the current controls the resistance. I = E/R . Your question should read, "If the voltage is constant and the resistance in the circuit is increased what happens to the current?" Say the voltage is 120 volts and the resistance is 30 ohms, I = 120/30 = 4 amps. Now we double the resistance to 60 ohms, then I = 120/60 = 2 amps. So now you can see if you increase the resistance the current drops.

How does a slide dimmer control the brightness of a light fixture?

A slide dimmer controls the brightness of a light fixture by adjusting the amount of electrical current flowing to the light. Sliding the dimmer switch changes the resistance in the circuit, which in turn regulates the amount of power reaching the light bulb, resulting in varying levels of brightness.

What is a iris diagram for a microscope?

An iris diagram for a microscope is a schematic representation of the iris diaphragm, a component that controls the amount of light entering the microscope. The diagram typically shows how the iris diaphragm can be adjusted to regulate the diameter of the light beam, thereby controlling the brightness and contrast of the specimen being viewed. This feature is crucial for achieving optimal image quality and detail in microscopy.

How do you turn your brightness up?

To turn up your brightness, go to the settings menu on your device. For smartphones and tablets, swipe down from the top of the screen to access quick settings, then adjust the brightness slider. On a computer, you can usually find brightness controls in the display settings or use function keys (like F1-F12) on the keyboard. Adjust the slider until the desired brightness level is reached.


How can a supervisor lessen employee resistance to controls?

A supervisor can lessen employee resistance to controls by involving them in the development and implementation of these controls, fostering a sense of ownership and collaboration. Clear communication about the purpose and benefits of the controls can also alleviate concerns, helping employees understand how these measures support their work and organizational goals. Providing training and resources to navigate the controls can further ease anxiety and resistance. Lastly, recognizing and addressing feedback can build trust and demonstrate that employee input is valued.
