A technician connects a digital multimeter across terminal 1 (the counter-clockwise outer terminal) and terminal 2 (the center wiper) of a 10 kΩ10\text{ k}\Omega rotary potentiometer. If the control shaft is rotated fully clockwise toward terminal 3, what resistance value should the multimeter display?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 10 kΩ10\text{ k}\Omega

Cevap

The multimeter will display the full rated resistance of 10 kΩ10\text{ k}\Omega.
A rotary potentiometer contains a continuous resistive track between two outer fixed terminals (terminals 1 and 3) and a movable wiper contact (terminal 2). When the shaft is rotated fully clockwise toward terminal 3, the wiper moves to the extreme end of the resistive track at terminal 3. Consequently, the multimeter connected across terminal 1 and terminal 2 spans the entire length of the resistive element, displaying the full nominal rating of 10 kΩ10\text{ k}\Omega.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the internal construction and terminal functions of a standard three-terminal potentiometer.
Terminal 1 and terminal 3 connect to the opposite fixed ends of the internal 10 kΩ10\text{ k}\Omega resistive strip, while terminal 2 connects to the movable wiper contact.
Understanding the internal layout establishes how rotation alters the length of resistive material between any two terminals.
2
Determine the physical position of the wiper relative to terminal 1 after rotating fully clockwise toward terminal 3.
Rotating clockwise shifts the wiper (terminal 2) all the way to terminal 3, placing the maximum possible distance of the resistive track between terminal 1 and terminal 2.
Electrical resistance is directly proportional to the length of resistive material between the two meter probes.
3
Calculate the measured resistance across terminal 1 and terminal 2.
The meter measures the complete length of the track, indicating 10 kΩ10\text{ k}\Omega.
With the wiper at terminal 3, the resistance between terminal 1 and terminal 2 equals the total nominal resistance of the potentiometer (10 kΩ10\text{ k}\Omega), while the resistance between terminal 2 and terminal 3 drops to 0 Ω0\ \Omega.

A rotary potentiometer has a total resistance of 50 kΩ50\text{ k}\Omega across its two outer fixed terminals (Terminals A and C). If the center wiper (Terminal B) is adjusted so that the resistance between Terminal A and Terminal B is 32 kΩ32\text{ k}\Omega, what is the resistance between Terminal B and Terminal C?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 18 kΩ18\text{ k}\Omega

Cevap

The resistance between Terminal B and Terminal C is 18 kΩ18\text{ k}\Omega.
A potentiometer contains a single continuous resistive track between its two outer terminals (AA and CC). The center wiper (BB) contacts this track at an intermediate point, splitting the total resistance into two complementary series sections such that RAC=RAB+RBCR_{AC} = R_{AB} + R_{BC}. Given a total resistance of 50 kΩ50\text{ k}\Omega and a segment of 32 kΩ32\text{ k}\Omega, the remaining segment between the wiper and the other outer terminal must be 50 kΩ−32 kΩ=18 kΩ50\text{ k}\Omega - 32\text{ k}\Omega = 18\text{ k}\Omega.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the relationship between the three terminals of a potentiometer.
The total resistance between outer terminals A and C equals the sum of the two sub-segments created by wiper B: RAC=RAB+RBCR_{AC} = R_{AB} + R_{BC}.
A potentiometer consists of a single continuous resistive element where the movable wiper divides the total track into two series-connected resistive portions.
2
Subtract the known segment resistance from the total end-to-end resistance to find RBCR_{BC}.
RBC=50 kΩ−32 kΩ=18 kΩR_{BC} = 50\text{ k}\Omega - 32\text{ k}\Omega = 18\text{ k}\Omega.
Isolating RBCR_{BC} algebraically provides the remaining resistance along the element to the opposite outer terminal.

Cevap: 25

Cevap

25 kilo-ohms (25 kΩ25\text{ k}\Omega)
In a linear-taper potentiometer, the total end-to-end resistance (100 kΩ100\text{ k}\Omega) is distributed uniformly across the resistive track between the outer fixed terminals. When the wiper is moved 75%75\% of the travel distance from the lower terminal, the remaining segment between the wiper and the upper terminal comprises 25%25\% (100%−75%100\% - 75\%) of the total resistance. Multiplying 100 kΩ×0.25100\text{ k}\Omega \times 0.25 gives 25 kΩ25\text{ k}\Omega.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Find the percentage of the resistive element situated between the wiper contact and the upper terminal.
100%−75%=25%100\% - 75\% = 25\%
The total resistive track spans 100%100\% of the component's resistance between its two outer end terminals.
2
Calculate the resistance across this upper portion of the track.
100 kΩ×0.25=25 kΩ100\text{ k}\Omega \times 0.25 = 25\text{ k}\Omega
Because the potentiometer is linear, resistance is directly proportional to the physical position of the wiper along the track.

Cevap: 4,465 Ω to 4,935 Ω4,465\ \Omega\text{ to }4,935\ \Omega

Cevap

The acceptable tolerance range is 4,465 Ω to 4,935 Ω4,465\ \Omega\text{ to }4,935\ \Omega.
Decoding the four bands gives Yellow (4), Violet (7), Red (multiplier of 100100), and Gold (±5%\pm 5\% tolerance). The nominal resistance is 47×100=4,700 Ω47 \times 100 = 4,700\ \Omega. Five percent of 4,700 Ω4,700\ \Omega is 235 Ω235\ \Omega. Subtracting and adding 235 Ω235\ \Omega to the nominal value yields the valid range of 4,465 Ω to 4,935 Ω4,465\ \Omega\text{ to }4,935\ \Omega.

1
Decode the significant digits and multiplier from the first three color bands.
Yellow = 4, Violet = 7, Red = ×102\times 10^2 (100100). Nominal resistance = 47×100=4,700 Ω47 \times 100 = 4,700\ \Omega.
The standard EIA four-band color code uses the first two bands for significant digits and the third band as a decimal multiplier.

Determine the tolerance percentage from the fourth band.
Gold = ±5%\pm 5\%.
The fourth band specifies the manufacturing tolerance rating.
3
Calculate the allowable deviation in ohms.
4,700 Ω×0.05=235 Ω4,700\ \Omega \times 0.05 = 235\ \Omega.
Multiplying the nominal resistance by the tolerance percentage gives the maximum allowable variation.
4
Calculate the lower and upper limits of acceptable resistance.
Lower Limit: 4,700 Ω−235 Ω=4,465 Ω4,700\ \Omega - 235\ \Omega = 4,465\ \Omega; Upper Limit: 4,700 Ω+235 Ω=4,935 Ω4,700\ \Omega + 235\ \Omega = 4,935\ \Omega.
Adding and subtracting the allowable deviation establishes the operational boundaries.

A resistor's ability to safely dissipate electrical energy as heat is measured in , and among standard carbon-composition resistors, a physically larger package indicates a power rating.
Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap

watts (or W) and higher (or greater / larger)
Resistors convert electrical energy into heat during circuit operation. The rate of heat dissipation is rated in watts (W). Because standard carbon-composition and film resistors do not use color bands for wattage, their power ratings (such as 1/8 W, 1/4 W, 1/2 W, 1 W, or 2 W) are identified by their physical dimensions: larger physical dimensions provide greater surface area to radiate heat, allowing for a higher power rating.

Power is measured in watts (W).
Electrical power converted into heat by a resistor is calculated using Watt's Law (P=I2R=V×IP = I^2 R = V \times I) and expressed in watts.
2
Determine the physical property that dictates the wattage rating of standard carbon resistors.
Physical surface area and volume determine heat dissipation, meaning larger size equals a higher power rating.

Cevap: It remains constant at 10 kΩ10\text{ k}\Omega regardless of shaft rotation.

Cevap

The resistance remains constant at 10 kΩ10\text{ k}\Omega regardless of shaft rotation.
A standard potentiometer has a continuous resistive element with fixed end contacts. Connecting exclusively to the two outer terminals places the entire 10 kΩ10\text{ k}\Omega track in series with the circuit. Because the movable wiper is not part of the active electrical path, rotating the control shaft has no effect on the total resistance between the outer terminals.

1
Identify the internal construction of a standard three-terminal potentiometer.
A potentiometer consists of a continuous resistive track of fixed total resistance (10 kΩ10\text{ k}\Omega) connected between its two outer stationary terminals, along with an adjustable center wiper that slides along that track.
Understanding the physical arrangement determines which paths conduct current.
2
Analyze the circuit path when only the two outer terminals are connected.
Current flows through the entire continuous length of the resistive strip from one end to the other without passing through the wiper.
Since the center wiper terminal is unconnected, its mechanical movement along the track cannot alter the total length or resistance between the two fixed outer end points.

1
Decode the first two color bands into the significant digits.
The first band (Red) represents the digit 22, and the second band (Violet) represents the digit 77, forming the base number 2727.
Standard four-band EIA color codes use the first two bands for the primary significant figures.
2
Apply the multiplier value indicated by the third color band.
The third band is Gold, which indicates a multiplier factor of 10−110^{-1} (0.10.1). Multiplying gives 27×0.1=2.7 Ω27 \times 0.1 = 2.7\ \Omega.
When Gold appears in the multiplier band position, it denotes a decimal factor of 0.10.1 for low-resistance values.
3
Determine the tolerance percentage from the fourth color band.
The fourth band (Gold) designates a ±5%\pm 5\% manufacturing tolerance.
The fourth band identifies the allowable deviation from the nominal resistance value.
