A rotary potentiometer, also known as a "pot," is a type of electrical component that is typically used to adjust the value of a circuit. The P092N-FC15AR100K is one of the most common varieties. Thispotentiometer includes a circular body with a wipercontact in the center that can be adjusted to varythe resistance of the circuit. As the contact movesacross the surface, it changes the resistancebetween two terminals (usually the two extremitiesof the body). The resistance is measured in ohms.

The functionality of a P092N-FC15AR100K rotary potentiometer is simple and straightforward.It is commonly used in electronics circuits to control thevoltage, power, current, or resistance of a circuit. Forexample, the P092N-FC15AR100K can be used to regulatevoltage in an AC power supply, or in some radios toadjust the volume. Rotary potentiometers like theP092N-FC15AR100K are also used in amplifiers,mixers, synthesizers, and home theater systems.

Rheostats are related to potentiometers in that theyboth adjust the resistance in a circuit. However,therheostat can typically handle a greater current and canbe used to adjust much higher levels of power.A P092N-FC15AR100K rheostat is a variable resistor withthree terminals, connected in series. Like therotary potentiometer, a rheostat can be used toregulate voltage in AC power supplies, as well as incircuits where precise control of the current isrequired. Unlike a potentiometer, a rheostat can beused to adjust the power in a circuit rather than thevoltage.

The different applications of a P092N-FC15AR100Krotary potentiometer and rheostat depend on thecircuit or device they are being used in. Generally,the two components can be used in any situation whereprecise control of a circuit is needed, and can be foundin a wide variety of devices, from musical instruments toelectronic circuits. In addition, both of thesecomponents can also be used to adjust thespeed of motors, the intensity of lights, or to trim,or “trim off” excess voltage or current in a circuit.

The working principle of a rotary potentiometer andrheostat is the same. As the contact or the wiper movesacross the body, it changes the amount of resistance in thecircuit. As the resistance increases, the amount of currentable to flow through the circuit decreases. Theposition of the wiper and the amount of resistance in thecircuit can be adjusted over a wide range to suit the needs ofthe device or circuit being monitored.
