Potentiometer Voltage Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Output Voltage = Line Voltage/Voltage Division Ratio
V_o = V_l/R_d
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Output Voltage - (Measured in Volt) - Output Voltage refers to the electrical potential difference provided at the output terminals of a device, circuit, or system.
Line Voltage - (Measured in Volt) - Line Voltage is the voltage measured between any two lines in a three-phase circuit.
Voltage Division Ratio - Voltage Division Ratio is a factor that accounts for any scaling or attenuation in the measurement setup.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Line Voltage: 17.5 Volt --> 17.5 Volt No Conversion Required
Voltage Division Ratio: 3.74 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

V_o = V_l/R_d --> 17.5/3.74

Evaluating ... ...

V_o = 4.67914438502674

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

4.67914438502674 Volt --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

4.67914438502674 ≈ 4.679144 Volt <-- Output Voltage

Resistance of Coil in Transfer Type Potentiometer

Go Coil Resistance = (Output Resistance*Voltage across Coil)/(Voltage across Shunt)*cos(Coil Phase Angle-Standard Resistor Phase Angle)

Effective Resistance in Coordinate Type Potentiometer

Go Output Resistance = (Sensitivity*Voltage across Coil)/Voltage across Shunt

Voltage Magnitude of AC Potentiometer

Go Total Voltage = sqrt(Voltage 1^2+Voltage 2^2)

AC Potentiometer Phase Angle

Go Coil Phase Angle = atan(Voltage 2/Voltage 1)

Potentiometer Voltage Formula

V_o = V_l/R_d

How many volts can a potentiometer handle?

If the potentiometer is rated at 1 Watt, you can only apply a maximum of 100 volts. I.e 10 mA. That applied to the voltage across the full 10000 ohms. That also means that you cannot pass more than 10 mA into the Wiper.

How to Calculate Potentiometer Voltage?

Potentiometer Voltage calculator uses Output Voltage = Line Voltage/Voltage Division Ratio to calculate the Output Voltage, The Potentiometer Voltage formula is defined as the variable resistor that can be used to create an adjustable voltage divider. Turn the pot all the way in one direction, and the voltage may be zero. Output Voltage is denoted by V_o symbol.
