It takes only a few seconds to check a resistor’s value. In contrast, once you’ve finished building a circuit and discover that it won’t work because of some miscreant resistor, the troubleshooting process can take hours. indd 27 3/26/15 8:08 PM 28 Chapter Two Variable Resistors Figure 2-6A illustrates the construction geometry of a variable resistor called a potentiometer. Figure 2-6B shows the schematic symbol. If a potentiometer uses a resistance wire rather than solid strip resistive material, it’s called a rheostat.

Two main types of variable capacitors exist: the air-variable capacitor and the trimmer capacitor. You’ll occasionally encounter a less common type known as a coaxial capacitor. Air-Variable Capacitors You can assemble an air-variable capacitor by connecting two sets of metal plates so that they mesh, and by affixing one set to a rotatable shaft. The rotatable set of plates constitutes the rotor, and the fixed set constitutes the stator (Fig. 3-5). You’ll find air variables in vintage radio receivers (particularly those that used vacuum tubes rather than semiconductor components), and in high-power wireless antenna tuning networks.

Capacitors in Parallel Capacitances in parallel add like resistances in series. The net capacitance equals the sum of the individual component values, as long as you use the same units all the way through your calculations. , Cn in parallel. As long as no stray capacitance exists, you can calculate the net capacitance C with the formula C = C1 + C2 + C3 + ... + Cn Tip If you parallel-connect two or more capacitors, and if one of them has a capacitance that’s far greater than any of the others, then for practical purposes the net capacitance roughly equals the largest capacitance.
