I am trying to use a potentiometer to drop voltage. I just learned about resistors and voltage drop so I thought that if I supply an input voltage I can reduce it using the pot. But when I attach my volt meter on the other side where my load/output would be I get VCC? Can someone help me understand this conceptually? I am not interested in understanding electronics by memorizing rules rather than actually grasping what is going on!
