e/Potentiometer (measuring instrument)

Information
has gloss	eng: A potentiometer is an instrument for measuring the potential (or voltage) in a circuit. The instrument taps off a fraction of a known voltage from a resistive slide wire and compares it with the unknown voltage by means of a galvanometer. The sliding contact or wiper of the potentiometer is adjusted and the galvanometer briefly connected to both the sliding contact and the unknown potential. The deflection of the galvanometer is observed and the sliding tap adjusted until the galvanometer no longer deflects from zero. At that point the galvanometer draws no current from the unknown source, and the magnitude of voltage can be calculated from the position of the sliding contact.
lexicalization	eng: potentiometer
instance of	(noun) instrument that shows the extent or amount or quantity or degree of something measuring system, measuring device, measuring instrument

Meaning
Russian
has gloss	rus: Потенциометр — прибор для определения ЭДС и напряжений компенсационным методом.
lexicalization	rus: Потенциометр
Castilian
has gloss	spa: El potenciómetro original es un tipo de puente de circuito para medir voltajes. La palabra se deriva de “voltaje potencial” y “potencial” era usado para referirse a “fuerza”. El potenciómetro original se divide en cuatro clases: el potenciómetro de resistencia constante, el potenciómetro de corriente constante, el potenciómetro microvolt y el potenciómetro termopar.
