If you need a potentiometer for a project, chances are pretty good that you’re not going to pick up a pencil and draw one. Then again, if you’re teaching someone how a variable resistor works, that ...

Adjusting the volume dial on a sound system, sensing your finger position on a touch screen, and knowing when someone’s in the car are just a few examples of where you encounter variable resistors in ...

A resistor is characterized by an always constant resistive value. With the same applied voltage, it will always pass the same amount of current. The potentiometer, on the other hand, is an electronic ...

Analog variable frequency filters require the use of variable passive components. The higher the slope of the filter, the greater the number of needed variable passive components. These elements are ...

PITTSBURGH, March 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- "Our goal was to increase the operating cycles of a conventional potentiometer by a factor of ten, while achieving cost parity with PCB-based potentiometers, ...
