Vex 1.0 © 2005 Carnegie Mellon Robotics Academy Inc. In this lesson you will learn: How a potentiometer works as a variable resistor and a voltage divider How to use a multimeter as an ohmmeter, voltmeter and ammeter How to use Ohm’s Law How to predict values of dependent variables How to calculate experimental error CAN I MAKE MY OWN SENSOR 1 Overview

Vex 1.0 © 2005 Carnegie Mellon Robotics Academy Inc. In this investigation, you will learn how a potentiometer can be used in an electronic circuit as a variable resistor or as a voltage divider. Students will construct simple electronic circuits that use a DC voltage source, a fixed value resistor and a rotary potentiometer. This investigation consists of two activities.
