I have a 9V DC motor with current of 135mA (no load) and 1.20A (stalled). What potentiometer should I use?
Hey there!
Ok, so the resistance range of the potentiometer has to be figured out.
The answer can be figured out by Ohm's law, which is V=IR . Hence R = V/I. Substituting the value of I on bothe cases will give you the range of the potentiometer to be selected.
For Voltage of V = 9V and a current of I = 135 mA = 135 x 10-3 A ,
Hence a potentiometer of range 7.5 Ohms - 67 Ohms is apt. (A potentiometer with 0 to 100 Ohms as a standard value practically.)
I hope the solution helps... Feel free to comment and discuss further... Cheers :)
