5Pcs B10K Audio Amplifier Sealed Potentiometer 15mm Shaft 5 pins with Switch

okay today we're going to talk about potentiometers testing cleaning and what to do if you have a scratchy plot and how they work basically so I basically I have a schematic diagram of a five K or five thousand ohm potentiometer here you're going to see this in schematic diagrams a lot basically a potentiometer is nothing but a resistor with a wiper now the wiper will change resistance so basically if the wiper moves along the resistor at any point it's going to change resistance between any of these three points so right now I have the the Y present in the center of this 5k schematic resistor excuse me potentiometer so essentially you should be able to cut this value in half to two 2.5 k so if you were meant to measure from this point to this point on the potentiometer it would read 2.5 k and from this point to this point at 2.5 K and if you slide the potentiometer this way you're goin
