What is a AC Potentiometer ?AC Potentiometer DefinitionAn AC potentiometer measures unknown voltage by balancing it with a known voltage, including both magnitude and phase.Types of AC Potentiometers Polar type Coordinate typePolar Type PotentiometerMeasures magnitude and phase angle using separate scales and components like a phase-shifting transformer.Coordinate Type PotentiometerMeasures in-phase and quadrature components of the unknown voltage using two potentiometers in one circuit.Applicat

What is a Potentiometer?Potentiometer DefinitionA potentiometer (also known as a pot or potmeter) is defined as a 3-terminal variable resistor used to control the flow of electric current by adjusting resistance.Working PrinciplePotentiometers work by moving a sliding contact across a uniform resistance, adjusting the voltage output based on the contact’s position.Types of Potentiometers Rotary potentiometer Linear potentiometerDigital PotentiometersDigital potentiometers offer higher accuracy a
