Rotary Potentiometers and Rheostats are the two categories of devices used in the application field of REE8R0. Both of them are in the same family of electrical and electronic components commonly used for signal or energy control.

A rotary potentiometer is a component that can be used for voltage adjustment or as part of an electrical circuit. The device consists of a circular or cylindrical body with a rotating shaft attached to its center. The rotary potentiometer is provided with a control knob on the outer circumference which can be rotated to alter the resistance inside. The resistance of the component is provided by a sliding contact, or a wiper, that moves around the circumference of the device. When this wiper is rotated, the resistance changes which determines the level of signal output.

Rheostats, also known as variable resistors, do the same job as the rotary potentiometer: they are used as adjustable resistors in circuits. The construction of a rheostat is relatively simple, having two terminals linked to a variable resistive element. One of the terminals is connected to the resistive element and the other is connected to the wiper. The wiper can be adjusted to change the resistance and thus the output signal of the circuit. Unlike a rotary potentiometer, the resistance operated by a rheostat is continuous.

The working principle of these two components is essentially the same, both of them control the level of a signal or energy supply in a circuit by changing the amount of resistance. Rotary potentiometers are primarily used for voltage adjustment while rheostats are used for more complex applications. As mentioned before, the resistance of the potentiometer is variable and controlled by the rotating knob, while for rheostats, the resistance is variable and controlled by the adjustable wiper.

Rotary potentiometers and rheostats are important components found in the REE8R0 application field. Both types of resistors have different characteristics and are used for various purposes in electrical and electronic applications. While the construction and working principles of these components are similar, their uses and applications are quite different. The distinction between these two components is important to allow control of signals and energy supplies accurately and efficiently.
