It is a 10K Ohm 3Pin 15mm Shaft Potentiometer. This is used for adjusting various parameters like voltage, current, etc in an electronic circuit. A potentiometer is a three-terminal resistor with a sliding or rotating contact that forms an adjustable voltage divider. Potentiometers are commonly used to control electrical devices such as volume controls on audio equipment. Potentiometers operated by a mechanism can be used as position transducers, for example, in a joystick. A ‘10K Potentiometer’ is a potentiometer that has a 10kΩ resistance. When you move your wiper, this will adjust the variable resistor resistance from 0Ω up to 10kΩ. 10K Potentiometers can come as rotary, linear and many other types of potentiometers. You can set the resistance between 0-10kΩ depending how far you twist/move your wiper. What are Potentiometers?
