                                  Potentiometer


                  Overview

                  In this activity, students will control the brightness of an LED using a potentiometer. By adjusting
                  the  potentiometer, they  will  see  how  changing  the  resistance  affects  the  LED’s brightness.  This
                  hands-on activity helps students understand the relationship between resistance and light intensity
                  in an electronic circuit.


                  Learning Objective

                    Identify and describe the function of a potentiometer in a circuit.

                    Understand the relationship between resistance and LED brightness.
                    Gain hands-on experience in building and adjusting a simple electronic circuit.
