How do Potentiometers work?

A potentiometer (Pot) works through the two terminals they have, are fixed to a resistive element or what we may refer to as a track. A third terminal is connected to the wiper, which is a sliding contact. As the wiper moves along the track, the resistance changes and the current that is flowing through the circuit changes
