    I only know that the potentiometers are divided into A and B, i.e. linear and logarithmic, I know what is the difference between them, but what is the designation A, is it logarithmic or linear, and if it is B, what is it?

    Thank you in advance

    A - linear B- logarithmic C- exponential but it is said to be valid in potentiometers of our production, in Chinese A- logarithmic

    A - linear characteristic,
    B - potentiometers with logarithmic characteristics,
    C - exponential characteristic (anti-logarithmic)

    And it's linear
    B logarithmic

    C - exponential characteristic (anti-logarithmic) and can someone draw me what is the graph of such a potentiometer??
    because what linear looks like, I know logarithmic too, and the third one, I don't know :)

    please help

    Hello.
    Below I have drawn three characteristics of the potentiometers.
    Example of application: a human hears in the log function, so the volume potentiometer must be in the lec function. that the stimuli received by the ear were linear (don't laugh, the translation was the simplest possible).
    Greetings

    at http://www.trim-pot.com.pl you can find potentiometers with characteristics ABCDW ..... about d and IN never heard of it.... anyone know what it could be??

    PS This is a Chinese production help not so bad .... better than standard telpods (as I heard).

Topic summary

✨ The discussion centers on the classification of potentiometers into types A and B, which refer to linear and logarithmic characteristics, respectively. Participants clarify that A denotes linear potentiometers, while B indicates logarithmic ones. There is also mention of a third type, C, which is characterized as exponential (anti-logarithmic). The conversation includes a request for graphical representations of these characteristics, particularly the exponential type, and references to additional resources for further information on potentiometer characteristics.
