Correct Answer: 1/4 watt
Correct Answer: resistors
Correct Answer: 3
Explanation:
A potentiometer uses three connections, as opposed to a rheostat, which only employs two. Having three connections allows the potentiometer to vary voltage. Both the potentiometer and the rheostat are classified as variable resistors.
