A linear potentiometer is a potentiometer that changes linearly with rotation of the knob. A 30% degree turn will change the resistance 30%. It's a direct relationship.
This is in contrast to log potentiometers, which change resistance logarithmically with turns in the knob.

What is a linear resistor?
which obey ohms law ANSWER: Not all potentiometers are linear some are made to follow a logarithm function some follows an exponential function. A linear potentiometer will have a linear curve. Materials that obey Ohm's Law are called 'linear' or 'ohmic'; those that don't are called 'non-ohmic' or 'non-linear'.
What type of transducer Is potentiometer?
what type of transducer potentiometer
What is sensitivity of a potentiometer?
Sensitivity of potentiometer means~ smallest potential difference that can be measured with the help of it.
What is the resolution of potentiometer?
resolution of petentiometer
How you can do Calibration of wattmeter by potentiometer?
221
What is the wiper contact of linear potentiometer represent?
The wiper sets the effective resistance of the potentiometer.
Main difference between rotary and linear potentiometer?
the arm
Why the plot for output voltage from potentiometer as shaft position is a straight line?
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.
What type of signal does a potentiometer produce?
A: Potentiometer does not produce any signal it is merely a variable resistor whereby any signal impressed on it can be variably taken out of the wiper as a linear function or logarithms function depending on the requirement of the design

How do you control linear actuator by PID controller?
To control linear actuator by PID controller, use the data from the feedback device. Use the potentiometer to adjust the output until it reaches the target value.
What type of transducer Is potentiometer?
what type of transducer potentiometer
What are uses of potentiometer?
A potentiometer is a variable resistor used in electronics.
Define potentiometer?
A dual potentiometer is nothing but a potentiometer which has TWO channels.. Like two INs and two OUTs on the same unit.
What you mean by sensitivity of potentiometer?
Sensitivity of potentiometer: A potentiometer is said to be more sensitive, if it measures a small potential difference more accurately.
Define dual potentiometer?
A dual potentiometer is nothing but a potentiometer which has TWO channels.. Like two INs and two OUTs on the same unit.
Why potentiometer is called passive transducer?
because potentiometer generate a own current
