How many terminals are required by a potentiometer such as that used as a 'contact' throttle position sensor?
A) one only
B) two
C) three
D) four
Potentiometer
A three-terminal voltage divider. The terminals are identified as supply voltage, signal voltage, and ground. The position of the slider on the device resistive track determines how supply voltage is divided between the signal and ground paths.
Throttle Position Sensor
A sensor used to monitor the position of the throttle in an internal combustion engine, sending data to the engine control unit to optimize engine performance.
