Un potentiomètre est un type de résistance variable à trois bornes, dont une est reliée à un curseur se déplaçant sur une piste résistante terminée par les deux autres bornes. Ce système permet de recueillir sur la borne reliée au curseur, une tension en fonction de la position du dit curseur et de la tension à laquelle est soumise la résistance. 2, record 1, French, - potentiom%C3%A8tre%20%C3%A0%20curseur
