A potentiometer is a three-terminal resistor with a sliding
contact that forms an adjustable voltage divider.[1] If
only two terminals are used (one side and the wiper), it
acts as a variable resistor or Rheostat. Potentiometers are
commonly used to control electrical devices such as a
volume control of a radio.
