Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What type of circuit is a potentiometer typically used in?
Correct Answer: Closed circuit
  • Step 1: Understand what a potentiometer is. It is a type of variable resistor that can change resistance.
  • Step 2: Know that a closed circuit is a complete path for electricity to flow.
  • Step 3: Learn that a potentiometer is used in a closed circuit to measure voltage.
  • Step 4: Remember that it measures voltage without drawing current, meaning it doesn't use power from the circuit.
