What is the difference between resistor, rheostat and potential divider? |
|
Answer» Resistor: a fixed resistance connected permanently in the circuit for limiting the current to definite value is called the resistor. Rheostat: a variable resistance by sliding contacts on it the current can be varied is called rheostat. Potential divider: when a resistance is used to develop a voltage drop it is called a potential divider. |
