a variable resistor is often called a control potentiometer ,
and would be used to supply a set voltage depending on the position of the wiper contact on the resistor assembly .
........
an example would be a speed control device on a motor , including battery drill drivers , a mini hand held drill tool for use in craft projects , a volume control slide/ positioner , which controls the amount of signal and hence the volmue at whic music is played on a music system throu speakers.
it could also be used in lighting control circuits , such as dimmer controls .
where it sets the level of light output by varying the applied volatge to the lamp

What is the definition of EDVAC?
Electronic Discrete Variable Automatic Computer.
What does discrete mean?
When used in the context of math, discrete refers to values where there is space on the number line between any two values. For example, the possible sums of the numbers of two dice are discrete. Temperature is not discrete. I believe that when using the term discrete that the numbers on a graph/ Row have to be redivided if possible Discrete means individually recognizable and countable, distinct and separate from the similar items, finite and non-continuous.
What is Variable declaration and variable initialization?
...are important things in programming. Example: extern int variable; /* declaration */ int variable= 8; /* definition with initialization */
How does the Sampling rate affect frequency?
In signal processing, sampling is the reduction of a continuous signal to a discrete signal. A common example is the conversion of a sound wave (a continuous signal) to a sequence of samples (a discrete-time signal).
What is a transient variable?
Transient variable can't be serialize. For example if a variable is declared as transient in a Serializable class and the class is written to an ObjectStream, the val ue of the variable can't be written to the stream instead when the class is retrieved from the ObjectStream the value of the variable becomes null
What is a example of discrete data?
Discrete data are observations on a variable that which take values from a discrete set.
Is the number of people a discrete variable?
Yes, is a discrete variable.
What is a discrete variable?
A discrete variable is one that cannot take on all values within the limits of the variable.
Is the gender of college students a discrete random variable a continuous random variable or not a random variable?
It is a discrete random variable.
Is asthma a discrete or continuous variable?
discrete
What is the difference between discrete signal and digital signal?
discrete signal varies on the independent variable scale (example time scale) digital signal varies on the dependent variable scale as well
What is a dicrete variable?
A discrete variable is a variable that has a certain set limit. For example, a ten point scale can ONLY have the variables 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, & 10. 2.8 would not work on a discrete variable ten point scale. Height is an example of a continuous variable, or one that has an infinite possibility.
The amount of time needed to run the Boston Marathon is an example of which type of variable?
A continuous variable which is made discrete when recorded.
Ocean depth is a continuous or discrete variable?
ocean depth is a continuous or discrete variable?
Is occupation discrete or continuous?
is occupation decrte or coninus
What does discrete mean in algebra?
In basic algebra a discrete variable is one that can only take on specific set of values. For example, if we were to say that X can only take on a whole value between 1 and 10, then X would be a discrete variable. On the other hand, a continuous variable is one that can take on an unlimited number of values. For example, if we were to say X can take on ANY value between 1 and 10, then X is called a continious variable. The important thing to note is that the range of a variable (the min and max values it can take) is different than whether it is discrete or continuous. Discrete only implies a fixed (and known) set of values is possible for a variable
Is date a discrete or continuous variable?
Date is a discrete variable whereas date/time would be continuous.
