A hank of uninsulated wire consisting of seven and a half turns is stretched between two nails hammered into a board to which the ends of the wire are fixed. The resistance of the circuit between the nails is determined with the help of electrical measuring instruments. Determine the proportion in which the resistance will change if the wire is unwound so that the ends remain to be fixed to the nails.
