Slide potentiometer

Potentiometer slide potentiometers is the twin of which have been discussed above. The difference is how to change the resistance value. On potentiometer that has been discussed above, is how to change the resistance value by turning the handle that pops out. Meanwhile, for the potentiometer slide, how to change the resistance value is simply by moving the handle pops out. The shape of the sliding potentiometer can be seen in the picture on the side. In general, the materials used to make this potentiometer is carbon. Those that are made ​​of wire, but is now rarely used because of their large size. In this slide potentiometer, the resistance value changes only change linearly. Shape slide potentiometer can be seen in the picture above with the middle component.
