50k potentimiter

A 50k potentiometer is a three-terminal variable resistor designed to control and adjust electrical resistance up to 50,000 ohms (50kΩ). It works by varying the position of a movable contact (wiper) over a resistive element, allowing precise control of voltage or current in a circuit.

The potentiometer typically includes a resistive track made from carbon or cermet material, a rotating or sliding shaft, and three terminals — two connected to the ends of the resistive track and one to the wiper. By rotating the shaft, the resistance between the wiper and either end terminal changes, making it useful as a voltage divider or variable resistor (rheostat).

The 50k potentiometer is available in various forms such as rotary, trimmer,
