The PotentiOmeter: Its Theory and
Uses. Part /.

With the influx of various types of

potentiometer is rapidly coming into
its own again.
Many fans seem to have difficulty
in grasping or understanding. the
phenomenon on which the action of
the potentiometer is based, but the
theory action of the instrument and
the electrical theory behind it is
really very simple.
The potentiometer as now used un-
fortunately has been misnamed, but
the misnomer has been used SO long
that it would be almost useless to try
to change it at this late stage of the
game. In it's original form the name
potentiometer was applied to the cir
cult in which the instrument was
used to measure potential difference.

Later the name was applied to the
instrument itself when the instru-
ment was used as a voltage divtder
to obtain an accurate and close ad-
justment of voltage in circuit.
