Potentiometers
Potentiometers are electronic components that are used to control the flow of electric current in a circuit. They are variable resistors that allow the user to adjust the resistance of the circuit by turning a knob or sliding a lever. Potentiometers are commonly used in audio equipment, such as volume controls and tone controls, as well as in industrial and scientific applications where precise control of electrical signals is required. They come in a variety of sizes and shapes, and can be mounted on circuit boards or used as standalone components. Potentiometers are an essential part of many electronic devices and are widely used in the electronics industry.
