Air Variables: Differential & Split Stator
Differential variable capacitors have two independent stators, but unlike in the butterfly capacitor where capacities on both sides increase equally as the rotor is turned, in a differential variable capacitor one section's capacity will increase while the other section's decreases, keeping the sum of the two stator capacitances constant. Differential variable capacitors can therefore be used in capacitive potentiometric circuits.
