A potentiometer is an adjustable resistor. This is why some customers called potentiometer variable resistor. Resistor include fixed resistor and variable resistor. Variable resister (potentiometer) belongs to passive components. A potentiometer is constructed using resistive element comprising an arc of a circle and a sliding contact (wiper) travelling over that arc.
