1. Electronics: a variable resistor which varies the poential (voltage). 2. Sound: any rotory control
This device measures voltage or a potential voltage difference by comparing it with a standard voltage. It can also change resistance by moving the contact point, and is used to record pre-set positions in both zoom lenses and pan tilt heads.
A variable resistor. Potentiometers typically have three terminals: the two end terminals, across which the entire resistance appears, and a third terminal, the "wiper", which moves to a different spot on the resistor as the shaft is turned. In this manner, the resistance between the wiper and one end terminal gets smaller while, at the same time, the resistance between the wiper and the other end gets larger. This allows the potentiometer to be used as a variable voltage divider, for use in attenuators such as volume controls or tone controls.

A three terminal variable resistance
an electronic component comprising two terminals connected to either end of a resistive element and a conductor that can be moved between the two ends, thus allowing the creation of a variable resistor or voltage divider. Potentiometers are most often rotary controls (such as volume controls), but also exist as linear controls, such as faders or sliders. Often called a "pot."

(POT) A three terminal device which consists of a fixed resistor with terminations on each end and a moveable contact (wiper) that can travel between the two terminations. Also called a variable resistor.
Variable resistor, used for controls such as volume, which divides voltage so that it is proportional to its resistance. One form can be a slider that can move over fixed contact to vary the resistance, with one extreme being maximum resistance and no electricity flow and the other extreme having no added resistance and electricity flow at the maximum for the circuit where the potentiometer is situated.
A variable resistor with three terhree terminals. Mechanical turning of a shaft can be used to produce variable resistance and potential. Example: A volume control is usually a potentiometer.

A variable resistor used to attenuate a signal.
A potentiometer is a variable resistor that functions as a voltage divider. Originally a potentiometer was an instrument to measure the potential (or voltage) in a circuit by tapping off a fraction of a known voltage from a resistive slide wire and comparing it with the unknown voltage by means of a galvanometer.
