Can you show us what you have been reading about this so far? What parts are confusing you? It will make it a lot easier for us to help you if you show us what you have been reading... :smile:

I understand what the book says but i cannot imagine it and construct a circuit with potenial divider, and the uses of it as well. and i don't want to learn it as fact.

Well that's your problem! It's all sideways! :woot:

And with no diagrams. What diagrams have you been using to learn about resistor dividers and potentiometers and their uses?
