How to use "Potentiometer" in context?

A potentiometer, or wiper potentiometer, is a simple electronic circuit that can be used to control the voltage or current flowing through an electronic device. Potentiometers come in two main varieties, linear potentiometers, which are typically used to adjust the voltage, and rotary potentiometers, which are typically used to adjust the current. Potentiometers are often used in applications where precise control of voltage or current is needed, such as in volume controls on audio equipment, in medical equipment such as pacemakers, or in controls for industrial equipment.
