Linear Potentiometer
|
Logarithmic Potentiometer |
1 |
It has a linear variation of resistance with each degree of rotation of its shaft.
|
It has a logarithmic variation of resistance with each degree of rotation of its shaft.
|
2 |
It is produced by taking resistive segments of uniform thickness over the entire length of the segment.
|
It is produced by combining segments of resistance mixers having different resistivity to make up the total length of the film.
