What is single turn potentiometer?

A single-turn potentiometer is a type of variable resistor that allows for adjustment of resistance within a single full rotation of its knob or shaft, typically spanning 270 to 300 degrees. It consists of a resistive element and a wiper that moves along this element to vary the output voltage or resistance. Commonly used in applications like volume controls, they are simple to implement and widely found in electronic devices. However, their adjustment range is limited compared to multi-turn potentiometers, which allow for finer control over resistance.
