Re: Wattage Rating Of Pots Used In Volume Control

I want to build I volume control for a battery powered amplifier I use
for my iPod, but I'm not sure what wattage value the pots have to be.

With the voltages and resistance values involved, ANY pot will have a
large enough rating ( typically it'll be around a milliwatt ).
