Potentiometer
Schematic symbol
Adjustable resistor with three pins: the full resistance sits between the two outer pins, and the middle pin (the wiper) moves along it. Connect all three as a voltage divider to get an adjustable voltage, for example into an Arduino analog input, or use the wiper and one outer pin as a variable resistor.
