Im lost without the PW thread!!!!

[dingleberry]

I like to buy things online from the places that sell them below typical retailer cost, and then complain online because things aren't perfect.

See, that cynical side just can't stay bottled in...

WTH is a potentiometer?

Good thing that I'm not a mechanic

From the source of all knowledge (Wikipedia ) ...

A potentiometer (colloquially known as a "pot") 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 volume controls on audio equipment. Potentiometers operated by a mechanism can be used as position transducers, for example, in a joystick.

Potentiometers are rarely used to directly control significant power (more than a watt). Instead they are used to adjust the level of analog signals (e.g. volume controls on audio equipment), and as control inputs for electronic circuits. For example, a light dimmer uses a potentiometer to control the switching of a TRIAC and so indirectly control the brightness of lamps.
