Potentiometers, Variable Resistors
![](/image/categories/potentiometers-variable-resistors.jpg)
Potentiometers and variable resistors are both adjustable resistors used to measure or divide voltage to protect or control circuits. Potentiometers are a commonly used variable resistor, which is a rotary adjustable fixed resistor. It is connected to a certain point in the circuit, and when the potentiometer adjusts the position of the sliding rod, the voltage signal at the output end can be changed. Variable resistors, also known as electronic resistors, are a type of tunable fixed resistor in the circuit.

Potentiometers, Variable Resistors: Variable resistors are divided into several types according to their structure, such as rotary, sliding, and contact types. Rotary variable resistors are also called potentiometers, which are often used in occasions such as volume and brightness adjustment. Sliding variable resistors are usually used in high-precision circuits.
