A potentiometer sensor measures the distance or displacement of an object in a linear or rotary motion and converts it into an electrical signal.
A potentiometer, which is often known as a pot, contains three terminals. Two of the terminals are permanently attached to the resistive track.
Usually, the track is wirewound or constructed from cement, carbon, or conductive plastic. The wiper, a sliding contact, is attached to the third terminal.
The current flowing through the circuit changes as a result of the resistance changing as the wiper moves along the track.
Potentiometers are used as control inputs for electrical circuits, such as light dimmers, and are used to modify the level of analogue signals, such as volume controls on audio equipment.
Potentiometers are also used in many other applications where exact current resistance is necessary.
