I have this potentiometer that I want to put in series with a lamp on my wire so that I can control the brightness of the lamp.
My question is that I noticed on the potentiometer that it is stamped as a DC potentiometer. Can I use this component on my wire with an AC powered lamp?
I don't know if that stamp was supposed to mean anything as far as a warning goes. Is there some reason I can't use DC components in an AC circuit?
Thanks in advance.
