A potentiometer, called pot for short, is an electrical component that acts as a variable voltage divider.
Yes, you can cut one leg of a potentiometer, but it will likely render the component non-functional. A potentiometer has three terminals: two are connected to the resistive track, and one is the wiper that adjusts resistance. Cutting one leg disrupts the electrical connections necessary for it to operate properly. If modifications are needed, it's better to use a different component or a new potentiometer.
what type of transducer potentiometer
Because the potentiometer has a linear curve for resistance. This won't be true for non-linear potentiometers, such as in a volume control application, which needs to be logarithmic.
To calculate the percentage non-linearity error in a potentiometer, you need to consider the voltage division between the potentiometer and the load. At half displacement, the effective resistance of the potentiometer is 275 Ω. The load resistance of 10 kΩ significantly affects the output voltage, leading to a non-linearity error. The percentage non-linearity error can be determined using the formula: ( \text{Error} = \frac{V_{actual} - V_{ideal}}{V_{ideal}} \times 100% ). However, without specific voltage values, the exact percentage cannot be calculated here.
A potentiometer is a variable resistor used in electronics.
A dual potentiometer is nothing but a potentiometer which has TWO channels.. Like two INs and two OUTs on the same unit.

because potentiometer generate a own current
The resistance of a potentiometer can be adjusted by turning the knob or slider on the potentiometer. By changing the resistance, the volume of the speaker can be controlled.
Sensitivity of potentiometer means~ smallest potential difference that can be measured with the help of it.
The wiper sets the effective resistance of the potentiometer.
The throttle position sensor is a potentiometer.
