Abstract

A variable resistor for use in vehicles and electric apparatus having a resistive body whose resistance value is hardly affected by abrasion. The resistive body is composed of a lower resistive layer formed on the surface of a substrate and an upper resistive layer formed on said lower resistive layer, wherein said upper resistive layer has 2 to 500 times greater value of volume resistivity compared with said lower resistive layer.
