Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following is NOT a use of a potentiometer?
Correct Answer: Direct resistance measurement
  • Step 1: Understand what a potentiometer is. It is a device used to measure voltage or control electrical devices.
  • Step 2: Identify the common uses of a potentiometer. It is used for adjusting volume, tuning circuits, and measuring voltage.
  • Step 3: Recognize that a potentiometer is not typically used to measure resistance directly. Instead, it is used to measure voltage.
  • Step 4: Conclude that the question is asking for the option that does not fit with the common uses of a potentiometer.
