◦

rheostat


◦

trimmer potentiometer


◦

nonlinear potentiometer


◦

linear potentiometer



Question 2

Why does running too many appliances on one circuit cause a fuse to blow or a circuit breaker to trip off?


◦

As more resistors are added in parallel, the total resistance decreases, which causes an increase in the total amount of current.


◦

As more resistors are added in parallel, the total resistance decreases, which causes an increase in the total amount of voltage.


◦

The current drops to almost zero.


◦

The voltage becomes too much for the circuit to handle
