What means of parasitic error?

Could you explain about wiper resistance please?

Prachurjya said:   1 decade ago
A thermistor is a type of resistor whose resistance varies significantly with temperature, more so than in standard resistors.

Rheostat is nothing but variable resistor which changes resistance value.

Mani said:   1 decade ago
Rheostat only have two terminals and varying resistance.

Wiper, a term for the moving contact on a potentiometer.

Babu said:   1 decade ago
Please can any one explain about wiper resistance.

When used as a variable resistor, all pots -whether electromechanical or electronic - suffer from the parasitic error of "wiper resistance. ".
