To solve the problem, we will follow these steps:
### Step 1: Calculate the total resistance of the circuit
The total resistance in the circuit is the sum of the resistance of the potentiometer wire and the series resistance.
Given:
- Resistance of the potentiometer wire, \( R_{pot} = 15 \, \Omega \)
- Series resistance, \( R_{series} = 5 \, \Omega \)
