How Potentiometer Works - Unravel the Mysteries of How potentiometers Work!

Great work! I really enjoy your videos. Could you talk about field oriented control (FOC) for bldc motor control one day please!

Holly shit. Archaic

You said it correctly, that it is used as a voltage divider, however, you then showed a 9 volt battery shorting across it, which is not a voltage divider. 😂

I find all this stuff incredibly fascinating. Thanks for yet another great video!

The knowledge of a variable resistor can be lifesaving, is essential for housewifes, tax officials and taxidrivers. And is the best of a good family dinner 😂

Learnt a lot, thanks

We need moreeee!!! Im 15 and i was just depressed i wanna improve myself

this video is the most helpful

Excellent editing and animations.

Mulțumim!

OMG this is just amazingly explained thanks gonna watch all of your videos

Lol finally

Hi

if potentiometers only pass low currents then how large smps potentiometers survive from heavy loads?

I have wired headset it has a potentiometer between microphone and play/pause button

Perfect video for potentiometer💯!

i was thinking about this yesterday and this video popped in my recommended

Hello. I have been watching your videos and others a couple months know to understand electricity in cars and how to diagnose issues. I really appreciate how easy you’ve made portions of electricity to understand. However, I have not seen a video on how current flow induces electricity. Can you make a video (if you already have one up please reference me to it) on how current flow carries positive ions through the circuit. I know that it should be common sense that the electrons flowing is what produces the electricity, but there are not any visual representations on why the energy is created when current is flowing.

Could I use a pot or 2 pots to create a fader between two sets of speakers in a car stereo ?

Right now the amp is 4 ohms per channel and I want to be able to fade in two rear mounted speakers of 4 ohm each and fade out the front 4 ohm speakers

I ordered 2 guitar pots that were the wrong size that I'm stuck with. I'll have to find some sort of useful project for them, haha.

Do you happen to know why they didn't stick to the normal naming conventions? ie 102= 1000 instead of the usual 1k

You provide a lot of information in a short time. It helps to have some electronics background or watch the video several times.
Wish I had your videos when I first learned electronics. Seeing "How" the components function is definitely a BIG help!
Thankyou for this video.

You're a very knowledgeable man, i recommend this channel to all my electrical buddies, thank you.

I made an electical experiment with an eight year old that involved making a potentiometer by layering a pencil‘s graphite onto paper. Her mind was blown when she saw that sliding the contact across the pencil line allowed to change the brightness of an LED.

I've soldered this in the past to my PS3 long ago. My fan sounded like a jet engine LOL

Excellent video. Very well made and extremely comprehensive. Thank you!

when I was little, say around 9 or 10. I thought I could make a lamp dimmer by wiring a potentiometer in series with a table lamp. I misunderstood that it would not work as a dimmer switch, but quickly found out with a very smelly , smokey result. like you showed at the end of the video. 😆

This is really very well explained, now I understand how these really work!!
thank you very much for this good video!

These potentiometers are not energy efficient because they have resistance. Some of the electrical energy that goes through them is converted into heat and lost. I think electric cars don't have potentiometers like this. They would decrease the car range by converting some of the battery energy into heat.

Your videos are not only interesting, they are fun to watch. Keep up the good work 👍

❤❤❤❤❤

This needs a description of how some potentiometers go to 11. 🤘

I'm an operating engineer for a giant property. You've helped me more than you could ever know. Thank you for all the hard work you put into these videos. Seriously, thank you for taking time out of your day to create these

That was really informative. Thanks.👍

Hi Paul! I watch (Almost) all your videos. I have request for you. Can you please make a video on Peltier coolers? It's interesting to me that one side of the plate is cold, and the other side is warm. Thank you for all your amazing videos!

In manufacturing one way we use potentiometers is to control the speed of VFDs... Another very common example is the fuel level sending until for the gas gauge in your car

I am a big admirer of great stuff. This is great stuff.

“So how do they work?”
Well, that one probably doesn’t 😆

I noticed from your posting an important fact you may review. This involves the variable to not go to zero. Say you have a 10k variable resistor and you only want it to go down to for instance 1k: The 10k is across pins one and three, the 1k would be from the vary pin to either pin one or three depending on the way of rotation needed. This causes the pins one and three to vary.

Thanks!

Bruh i had a potiometter and it blew up 💀

please Explain Corona effect, ferranti effect, proximity effect in transmission line

comprehensive and well done. exemplary work.

I called it perfect video for potentiometer

In the electric guitar

A great and in depth explanation, well done!
