What is component 9 in figure T-2?

  • A.Variable capacitor
  • B.Variable inductor
  • C.Variable resistor (correct answer)
  • D.Variable transformer

WhyComponent 9 in figure T-2 is a variable resistor. Component 9 in figure T-2 is drawn as a zigzag resistor symbol with an adjustable arrow through it, the standard symbol for a variable resistor, answer C. A, B, and D all name adjustable components with different base symbols, a capacitor's plates, a coil, or a set of transformer windings, none matching the zigzag-with-arrow shown here.
