Resistance and Power
How many connections does a potentiometer have?
1
2
3
4
Correct Answer:
3
Explanation:
A potentiometer uses three connections, as opposed to a rheostat, which only employs two. Having three connections allows the potentiometer to vary voltage. Both the potentiometer and the rheostat are classified as variable resistors.
