Potentiometers are components used to adjust the resistance at a specific point in a circuit. They are commonly used to adjust the brightness of screens, adjust the volume of an amplifier or to adjust frequencies on wave generators and the amplitude of the generated waves.

Connecting these potentiometers are extremely simple. You simply connect the ground of the circuit to the center pin of the potentiometer and the point where you want to apply the resistance to the two outside pins of the potentiometer. This specific potentiometer can be used to adjust the resistance anywhere between 0Ω and 10KΩ.
