What a crazy coincidence for me. Only today I received a pack of resistors and capacitors in order to experiment on this very thing. I was trying to help my nephew with a basic electronics kit and we found the pot we added didn't have the linear characteristics we were hoping for. Rather than swap it out I was determined to understand where I went wrong.

If you haven't already found the answer, pots come in linear and logarithmic flavors. Logarithmic potentiometers are intended for audio applications, specifically volume control because your ear's response to volume is not linear
