The document discusses the AC potentiometer, which measures unknown voltages in terms of both magnitude and phase. There are two main types: polar-type which measures magnitude and phase directly, and regular coordinate type which uses other measures. AC potentiometers are used to calibrate voltmeters, ammeters, energy meters and for other applications. Compared to DC potentiometers, AC potentiometers require both voltage magnitude and phase to be equal for balance, use a vibration galvanometer as the detector, and are generally less accurate and more complex.
