Potentiometers - Basic Introduction

Just imagine you're my brother...

Just got a job making these. This is my new favorite channel

Thank you so much. I learnt more in this one video that in a whole year of college. God bless you.

Bruh everytime I hear this man’s voice it calms me down lmfao

Thanks a lot for the explanation

Multiplication of total resistance by the V in will give us the V out? Can you explain this further more please? Thank you!

Great video just it's pronounced potenti o meter

we needed the teachers like you sir, you just cleared my doubts within 11 mins, that doubts are not solved by daily 1 hour college lectures

I always feel like liking your videos a thousand times, sadly, there is only one like button. You always provide the best solution, you are my hero❤️

Thanks for the video. Btw, it's pronounced po-tench-e-ah-me-ter.

and switches are just potentiometers that can't have a value other than 0 or 1

Am I the only one who finds his mispronunciation of the word "potentiometer" to be a bit off-putting?

If the circuit is connected from point A to C, I think the resistance should be the same no matter what you do to the nab. is that true?

Thank you. it is a great video.

So nice

I've been happy before but not like this.

So the voltage at the light is less than 6V? when dimmed, reduced current

You are such a legend, man

Can I use some of the concepts described in this video for a video on controller aiming? I will link the video in the description and provide proper citation.

Ooh, nice to know how the inner mechanisms of controllers work. Neat video!

Include ur voice ur a great teacher thank u very much 💓 💓 💓

Thanks Bro!

So which would I use to control the output from an air blower on a coffee roaster? Or temperature into the roast chamber? I’m a simple man please answer in simple terms. I think they’re both the voltage one, but I’m probably wrong.

Just had my final year exam with good grades. The Organic Chemistry Tutor has contributed to 60% of my success. Following these videos were of great help. I'm so grateful. Keep up this good job. Hope my college tutors will be like you.

I have a question about why a potentiometer used as a volume control needs to have three lugs. It seems that in an audio circuit, the first lug goes to the input signal, the middle lug (wiper) is the output (coming out from the pot) and the third lug goes to ground. I assume this means that the balance of the current (the current that does not go out the wiper) goes to ground, unless the wiper is all the way at the "max volume" end and in that case all current goes out the wiper. Is that correct? What would happen if there was no connection to ground, and the current could go only out the wiper but not down the rest of the track and out to ground?

Finally, a technical video without the voice of someone from india... 😂

Thank you sir

Why do variable resistors only have 2 pins and potentiometers have 3? Why does a potentiometer need that extra pin?

Can I solder a normal 100 kOhm resistor to a 100 kOhm multiturn potentiometer in order to get to 200 kOhm? Can't find a 200 kOhm multiturn potentiometer!

Does a potentiometer only do series circuits or can you parallel circuits with them too?

Thanks !

can you make a tutorial for audio distortion circuit ?

5.56 i think u got it backwards . Swing to A should direct towards 12 V

Why does this dude know everything? I was learning trig from him yesterday, and algebra the day before, and now this? This dude is a legend.

Thanks for the info,i want to know the diffent type of pots : Log, typeA,typeB, ETC. for example my audio amp. has a volume cont. 10k A , i cant find 10k A,i buy a 10k B if i intall type B, will it affect the quality or loudness of my amplifer? Tnx

Hi! Why can't the vout be between points C and B?

My setup calls for a 35K ohm pot. Can I use a higher value such as 40 or 50K. If I do, what will happen?
Will I prevent signal from leaving amp and damage components in my amp? Thanks.

Thank you 😊

Thank you so much !

Potentiometers are adjustable resistors and are not variable resistors. The difference is that potentiometers or adjustable resistors have 3 terminals and variable resistors have 2 terminals.

Thanks. This helped me a lot

What is the difference application between the two arrangement of the circuits? (one by using all 3 pins of the potentiometer and another only uses two pin). It seems to me that both have the same function of varying the resistance. Or is there any other thing I missed?

You deserve your 2M subscribers + 1!

You the best

hoooooooooooo,,,,,,,,,that true

Thanks! The drawing was very useful in helping me understand how the cylindrical potentiometer works
