What type of circuit is typically used in a potentiometer setup?
Correct Answer: Series circuit
- Step 1: Understand what a potentiometer is. It is a device that can adjust voltage or current in a circuit.
- Step 2: Know that a circuit is a path for electricity to flow.
- Step 3: Learn about different types of circuits: series and parallel.
- Step 4: In a series circuit, all components are connected one after another, so the same current flows through each part.
- Step 5: A potentiometer needs a constant current to work properly, which is why a series circuit is used.
- Step 6: In a series circuit, if you change the resistance of the potentiometer, it will adjust the voltage without changing the current.
