The output of a potentiometer is to be read by a recorder of 10,000 ohms input resistance. Nonlinearity must be held to 1 percent. A family of potentiometers having a thermal rating of 5 watts and resistances ranging from 100 to 10,000 ohms in 100- ohm steps is available. Choose from this family the potentiometer that has the greatest possible sensitivity and also meets the other requirements. What is this sensitivity if the potentiometers are single-turn (360°) units?
