101 100ohm Variable Resistor
The 101 100 ohm variable resistor, commonly referred to as a potentiometer, is an adjustable resistor used to control electrical resistance in a circuit. With a three-terminal design, it allows for precise tuning of resistance from 0 to 100 ohms. This component is ideal for applications requiring fine adjustments, such as volume controls, sensor calibration, and signal processing.
