WHAT DOES POTENTIOMETRY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Potentiometer (measuring instrument)

A potentiometer is an instrument for measuring the potential in a circuit. Before the introduction of the moving coil and digital volt meters, potentiometers were used in measuring voltage, hence the '-meter' part of their name. The method was described by Johann Christian Poggendorff around 1841 and became a standard laboratory measuring technique. In this arrangement, a fraction of a known voltage from a resistive slide wire is compared with an unknown voltage by means of a galvanometer. The sliding contact or wiper of the potentiometer is adjusted and the galvanometer briefly connected between the sliding contact and the unknown voltage. The deflection of the galvanometer is observed and the sliding tap adjusted until the galvanometer no longer deflects from zero. At that point the galvanometer draws no current from the unknown source, and the magnitude of voltage can be calculated from the position of the sliding contact. This null balance measuring method is still important in electrical metrology and standards work and is also used in other areas of electronics. Measurement potentiometers are divided into four main classes listed below.

Definition of potentiometry in the English dictionary

The definition of potentiometry in the dictionary is the measurement of potential differences or electromotive forces using a potentiometer.
