    Potentiometers can be connected in circuits in three ways: 1) to provide variable resistance from zero to maximum by connecting the middle terminal to one end terminal, 2) to provide variable resistance from zero to maximum by connecting the middle terminal to the opposite end terminal, and 3) to provide maximum resistance by connecting the two end terminals. The document then goes on to provide examples of circuits using potentiometers in the first two ways, explaining how rotation of the sliding contact changes the resistance and brightness of an LED.

    Connecting Potentiometer
        
      Potentiometers are unavoidable in circuits such as audio controls where adjustment of resistance is
    needed. Potentiometers can be connected in three ways in a circuit. One is to get maximum
    resistance and the others are to get a variable resistance from zero to maximum.

              Circuit to get variable resistance from zero to maximum value is given below. In this circuit,
    connections are taken across the middle terminal and one end terminal of the potentiometer. When
    the sliding contact is rotated in one direction, resistance will increase from zero to maximum.

        
      Another circuit to get variable resistance from zero to maximum value is given below. In this circuit,
    connections are taken across the middle terminal and end terminal opposite to the end terminal
    connected in the above circuit. When the sliding contact is rotated in the opposite direction,
    resistance will increase from zero to maximum. This change in resistance will change the brightness
    of LED.

              Next is the circuit to get maximum resistance across the potentiometer. If connections are
    taken across the end terminals of potentiometer, circuit will have maximum resistance.
