  1. 1. A group of electronic components that work together to perform a specific function.
  2. 2. A resistor whose value can be varied between its minimum and maximum values.
  3. 3. A device used to introduce some amount of resistance into a circuit.
  4. 4. A circuit that contains more than one path for current flow.
