By which material does the wire in the potentiometer is made up of.
Hope you are doing well
In general alloys like constantan or manganin are used as potentiometer wire .
Constantan or manganin are used as potentiometer wire because of the following two reasons which are listed below :-
- Constantan or manganin wire posses high specific resistance
- Constantan or manganin wire posses low temperature coefficient.
So , potentiometer wire is normally made of alloys constantan and manganin.
I hope that it helps you
Thankyou
