Question
Figure 2 shows a linear potentiometer used to measure displacement.
If, for the construction of this potentiometer, a wire with a diameter (d 0.1mm) of high-strength
copper (pe = 1.7 x 10-8 Q m) is wrapped around a core with a diameter (D = 15mm), So that the total
resistance of the coil is equal to (1kQ m),
It is desirable to calculate the range of operation of the vacuum cleaner (Wiper) and the resolution of
the potentiometer.
