The meaning of Logarithmic potentiometer

A logarithmic taper potentiometer has a resistive PIC600 element that either 'tapers' in from one end to the other, or is made from a material whose resistivity varies from D1047C one end to the other. This results in a device where output voltage is a logarithmic function of the mechanical angle of the potentiometer.Most (cheaper) "log" potentiometers are actually not LV1030N logarithmic, but use two regions of different resistance (but constant resistivity) to approximate a logarithmic law. A logarithmic potentiometer can also be simulated (not very accurately) with a linear t60n02rg one and an external resistor. True logarithmic potentiometers are significantly more expensive.Logarithmic taper potentiometers are often used in connection with audio amplifiers as M951G human perception of audio volume is logarithmic.
