Difference between Dimmer and Potentiometer

Dimmer vs. Potentiometer

Dimmers are devices connected to a light fixture and used to lower the brightness of light. A potentiometer is a three-terminal resistor with a sliding or rotating contact that forms an adjustable voltage divider.

Similarities between Dimmer and Potentiometer

Dimmer and Potentiometer have 2 things in common (in Unionpedia): TRIAC, Voltage divider.

TRIAC

TRIAC, from triode for alternating current, is a generic trademark for a three terminal electronic component that conducts current in either direction when triggered.
