(d) Diagram 10.4 shows the design of a wire0wrapped variable resistor made by a student to
control the amount of current flowing through a
circuit. The resistance of the variable resistor
can be varied to a maximum of 10 .
You are required to modify the design in
Diagram 10.4 so that the maximum resistance
is greater than 10 . State and explain the
modification based on following aspects:
(i) Cross-sectional area of wire used.
(ii) Length of wire used
(iii) Number of turns of the wire
(iv) Conductivity of the slider
(v) Type of wire used.
