Correct Answer: tapered
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.
Correct Answer: 2
Correct Answer: 1,000,000 cmils
Correct Answer: general-purpose
Correct Answer: an increase in power
