One design involves a horizontal tube of wire with a slider on the top. By moving the slider, one can change the length of wire involved, thus changing the resistance. Imagine a tube of wire with one layer made from wire 1.00 mm in diameter wrapped in a single layer with no gaps between the loops of wire ( the wire looks like a solid layer down the length of the tube). The radius of the tube is 2.50 cm. Moving the slider 1.00 cm changes the resistance of the variable resistor by 3.00 Ohms. What is the resistivity of the wire, and what is it made of?arrow_forward
