The variable resistor market is projected to grow at an expected CAGR of 9.5% during the forecast period 2021-2031. A variable resistor is a basically a type of resistor, in which the value of electric resistance can be adjusted. The resistor is an electro-mechanical transducer and works by sliding a wiper over a resistive element.
This resistor can be used as a divider by utilizing three terminals and that is known as a potentiometer. When two terminals are used, it starts functioning as a variable resistance and is known as a rheostat resistor. The variable resistors can be controlled electronically. There is no requirement of mechanical action.
These resistors are known as digital potentiometers. The ohmic resistance vale of these resistors can be adjusted, either electronically (digital potentiometer) or mechanically (potentiometer, rheostat). These resistors are also known for limiting the passage of electrical current. Due to the growing demand for electronic devices, the variable resistors market is growing at a very fast pace.
Variable resistors are playing an important role as an integral components of all types of electronic devices. A protection is provided to electronic devices with the help of variable resistors by resisting flow of excess voltage or power.
