Potentiometer Module, 1 Kohm (Product Code: SLE/PHY/81) is a 1 kΩ rotary linear potentiometer mounted on a channel box, used as a variable resistor or adjustable voltage divider in school electricity and electronics circuits. Connections are made through 4 mm sockets, and a fast-blow fuse protects the module when students connect it wrongly. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, to physics labs and dealers.

Wired with two of its sockets, the module acts as a variable resistor that dims a lamp or LED as the knob turns. Using all three sockets across a low-voltage supply, it becomes a voltage divider that gives a smoothly adjustable output, which students can measure with a voltmeter while they vary the load in Ohm law experiment kit set-ups.
Because the track is linear, equal turns of the knob give roughly equal changes in resistance, so students can relate knob position to the reading they see. If the module stops working after a wiring mistake, check the fast-blow fuse first. Keep supply voltages low and switch off before changing connections.
This potentiometer module is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the company behind the ScienceLab name, as part of its range of plug-in circuit modules and physics instruments for schools and colleges. Orders can combine modules of different values with meters and power supplies. Company details are on the ScienceLab profile.

What resistance does the Potentiometer Module have?
The Potentiometer Module, 1 Kohm has a 1 kΩ rotary linear potentiometer. The module is offered in a choice of values, so state the resistance you need when ordering if another value suits your experiments better.
What does the fuse in the Potentiometer Module do?
The Potentiometer Module, 1 Kohm includes a fast-blow fuse that protects it when students connect it wrongly, for example directly across a supply. If the module stops responding, check and replace the fuse before assuming the potentiometer has failed.
How is the Potentiometer Module connected?
The Potentiometer Module, 1 Kohm connects through 4 mm sockets on its channel box. Use two sockets to wire it as a variable resistor, or all three across a supply to use it as an adjustable voltage divider.
What does linear mean for this potentiometer?
On the Potentiometer Module, 1 Kohm, linear means the resistance changes in proportion to how far the knob is turned. Students therefore see an even change in current or voltage as they rotate it, which makes readings easier to interpret.
Who supplies the Potentiometer Module, 1 Kohm?
The Potentiometer Module, 1 Kohm is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India, to schools, colleges and dealers in India and international markets, alongside meters and other circuit modules.
What should a quotation request for the module include?
