An electronic component that is used to vary the amount of current that flows through a circuit. It works by sliding a wiper terminal across a resistive material, typically a thin film or chunk of ...

Designers of instruments or control systems often find that component performance limits overall equipment performance in areas such as stability, frequency response, noise, and ESD. This is ...

Why get up close and personal with a resistor when you can tweak it from a distance? Remote variable resistors make analog circuit control easier, neater, and a lot more fun. Well, we are about to ...

Moving the position of the slider on this resistor, changes the length of wire in the circuit which changes the resistance. A variable resistor is used in some dimmer switches and volume controls. As ...

Variable resistors have many practical applications including volume controls, eg on a radio, and speed controls, eg on a mixer or a drill. There is usually a dial or sliding switch on the variable ...

Hiya,<br><br>I just changed the fan in my PSU since the bearings were clearly dying. I put an Artic Cooling TC Pro in there. For reasons I won't go into the TC 'bobble' got chopped off ages ago and ...
