*the devices which are used to change the resistance in a circuit are called **resisitors... ** the fact that they effect the voltage or not simply depends upon the type of resistor used in the circuit ...:)
well, a potentiometer can be used to change the resistance with out changing voltage source.
The device used to change resistance without altering the voltage in a circuit is known as a rheostat or potentiometer. Both devices allow for adjusting resistance and are commonly used in applications such as volume control and dimmer switches. They provide flexibility in controlling electric current in various circuits.
