Physics lecturers in Negeri Sembilan Matriculation College find it difficult for students to solve potentiometer related questions. These findings are based on the lecturers' experience while marking student test papers related to this topic. Therefore, this study focuses on the effectiveness of the use of 'Potentiometer Learning Kit' in the potentiometer teaching process and at the same time can increase students' understanding of the concept of potentiometer by determining the terminal voltage. The potentiometer kit consists of 16 cards used by the lecturer to make comparison of circuit diagrams and its related equations. There are two forms of delivery methods used in this study, which are real cards and virtual comparison cards using AnyFlip. The results of the study found that the achievement of excellent students has increased to 38.9% compared to 22.2%, while the good level student achievement is 55.6% compared to 5.6% and the average level student achievement is 5.6% compared to 22.2%. It was also found that no students failed after using the potentiometer kit compared to 9 students who had failed before using this kit.
