In summary, a potentiometer circuit is a type of electronic circuit that uses a variable resistor to control the amount of current flowing through it. This allows for precise control of electrical signals, making it useful in a variety of applications such as volume control in audio equipment or adjusting the brightness of a light. In the video "Exploring the Basics with Jeremy," the basics of potentiometer circuits are explained, including how they work, their different types, and how to read their values. Overall, potentiometers are essential components in many electronic devices and understanding how they work can be helpful in troubleshooting and designing circuits.

Hi,
I’m Jeremy from England, planning to go to university in 2020.
I’ve just finished my A-levels last June and currently I’m working on my uni application to study physics (which means I’m in my gap year). Found this website while I was searching for an explanation for potentiometer circuits.
Hope this makes a good intro! Cheers! :)
