'pot' > manual potentiometer
Best supply references if outside of your subject comfort zone.
As far as recall from UK school physics lessons, a rheostat is 'an electrical instrument used to control a current by *varying the resistance*' so is part-only of the gadget.
NB pot is not the smokeable variety.

Example sentence:
Most ebike controllers have a variable potentiometer, or ‘pot’ that is used to adjust the power supplied by the controller.
Variable resistors are also known as potentiometers.
