Testing the Potentiometer Circuit
How the Potentiometer Circuit Works
The total resistance in your test circuit is 220 Ω plus the resistance between the A and W
terminals of the potentiometer. This value could be anywhere from 0 to 10 kΩ. As you

Turn the potentiometer clockwise until it reaches its mechanical limit shown in
Figure 5-6.
Gradually rotate the potentiometer counterclockwise to the positions shown in
Figure 5-6 (b), (c), (d), (e), and (f) noting the how brightly the LED glows at
each position.
Handle with care: If your potentiometer will not turn this far, do not try to force it. Just turn
it until it reaches its mechanical limit; otherwise, it might break.
