AI Generated Solution

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, \( R_{series} = 5 \, \Omega \) ...
