There are basically two types of resistors.
-Fixed resistors
-Variable resistors
FIXED TYPE:
Fixed resistors are classified into 4 types based on various factors like manufacturing style,resistance range,power rating etc.
The four types of fixed resistors are
1)Carbon composition
2)Carbon film
3)Metal film(again classified into thick film resistors and thin film resistors)
4)Wire wound-which consists of power style type and precision style type
VARIABLE TYPE:
They are used in electronic circuits to adjust the value of voltages and currents.Ex. They are used in televisions as volume control,brightness control etc. There are three types of variable resistors.They are
1)Potentiometer-classified into carbon potentiometer and wire wound potentiometer
2)Rheostat
3)Trimmer
Wire-wound, carbon compound, metal strip, and in modern times, the silicon transistors in linear region are used as resistors
The potentiometer is a position tranducer. It forms a resistance divider, proportional to position.
A potentiometer measures the potential voltage in a circuit. There are several types of potentiometers including constant current, constant resistance, microvolt, and thermocouple.

Hi, A triple deck potentiometer is just another configuration of a standard potentiometer. In this situation, it has three potentiometers stacked together on a single control shaft. There can be many different configurations with the most common being the single and double deck, but I've seen as many as six potentiometers stacked together. Then on top of it, switches can be added if needed. Hope this helps, Cubby It is a three ganged variable resistor

what type of transducer potentiometer
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.
The potentiometer is a position tranducer. It forms a resistance divider, proportional to position.
The volt drop across one mm of potentiometer is the sensitivity of the device. If it is calibrated in such a way that each mm of the potentiometer wire has a drop of 0.001 V then it is so sensitive.
