Anda Digital Potentiometer EDP2041
A potentiometer consists of a rotary resistive element inside a casing that is used to divide voltage in circuits. This resistive element can be wirewound, film, or carbon. Two terminals are connected to the two ends of this resistive element, and the resistance value between these two terminals is always fixed, representing the ohmic value of the resistive element. Between these two terminals, there is another terminal connected to a movable contact, and this movable contact can slide on the resistive element, changing the resistance between the middle terminal and each of the side terminals. To move the movable contact on the resistive element, one end of the resistive element is connected to a knob or to a slotted plate that can be adjusted with a screwdriver.
The change in resistance between the middle terminal and one of the side terminals can be linear or non-linear with respect to the rotation of the knob or slotted plate; based on this, the potentiometer is called linear or non-linear. In a linear potentiometer, for equal changes in the knob position, the resistance change between the middle terminal and each side terminal is equal. For example, in a linear potentiometer, if rotating the knob from zero to 90 degrees causes the resistance between the middle terminal and a side terminal to increase from zero ohms to 1kΩ, then rotating the knob from 90 to 180 degrees will increase the resistance from 1kΩ to 2kΩ. Usually, the resistance value between the side terminals (the ohmic value of the resistive element) is written on the potentiometer; if this value starts with the letter B, it indicates that the potentiometer is non-linear, meaning for equal knob changes, the resistance change between the movable terminal and each fixed terminal is not equal but follows a non-linear pattern. In other words, the resistance variation curve between fixed and movable terminals with respect to the movable contact rotation is non-linear.

Both potentiometers and rheostats are variable resistors, but the potentiometer is used to control voltage in part of the circuit, while the rheostat is used to control the current in the circuit. Also, if three rheostats are used in the circuit, their operation will be like a potentiometer and voltage control can be achieved.
Note: Today, to facilitate automation processes, instead of using a potentiometer (variable resistor), we can use a digital potentiometer, which easily allows scaling the desired information and obtaining an analog output from the digital potentiometer to connect to controllers such as inverters.
