To solve the question of how a rheostat can be used as a potential divider, we can break it down into several steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Rheostat**: - A rheostat is a variable resistor used to control current in a circuit. It has three terminals: two fixed terminals and one sliding contact (wiper) that can move along a resistive element. 2. **Setting Up the Circuit**: ...
