Rotary Potentiometers, Rheostats

Potentiometers and rheostats are passive electronic devices. It is mainly used in electrical circuits to regulate current levels and create a specific output voltage. In this article, we will take a look at how a rotary potentiometer and rheostat works, as well as its application field and working principle.A rotary potentiometer is a three-terminal electronic device whose resistance can be manually adjusted from its longest to shortest distance. It consists of a resistor, usually one that has a minimum and maximum value, which is connected to a movable pointer. This pointer is connected to a rotating disk, referred to as the ‘sweep’ and has contacts, which work together to effectively vary the resistance value.When the pointer is rotated, the resistance of the potentiometer changes gradually. The effective resistance is determined by the amount of disk that is extended, which increases as the pointer is moved up or down on the disk. The output signal from the potentiometer is then used to regulate the amount of current that is drawn from a source.Rheostats, on the other hand, are two-terminal devices that offer a continuously adjustable resistance. It consists of a coil of metal wire inside a container, which can be regulated by the motion of the handle that is attached to the container. As the handle is turned, the number of turns of the coil increases or decreases, increasing or decreasing the resistance accordingly. Potentiometers and rheostats are the two most popular types of variable resistors, which are both widely used in industrial applications. Potentiometers are commonly used in electronic equipment to control the volume, filter frequencies, and adjust the level of brightness of displays. They are also used in servo motor control systems to monitor control the position of control rods and linkage assemblies.Rheostats, on the other hand, are used mainly in machines that require continuous adjustment of current such as electric motors and welding. They are also used to regulate the amount of current that is drawn from power supplies.In conclusion, rotary potentiometers and rheostats play a very important role in many electronic applications. Both of these devices are simple and straightforward and are very reliable. It is important to understand the fundamentals of the devices before using them in any application.
