Your close, It's called a Wire Wound resistor. There are several types of resistors in use for electronics, the type is determined by it's construction.
A Carbon Comp. resistor is made up of .... you guessed it, carbon composition material which resists the flow of electrons, like blowing through different sized screens.
Film resistors work the same way, but they use a semiconducting film instead of a formed solid material.
Wire Wound resistors are actually 1 solid core wire wound around a ceramic rod.
In audio applications, a wire wound is the least detrimental to the sound, then film and composition. Wire wounds are the most expensive and get very large with high wattage values.

A cement resistor is typically used as a power resistor (a resistor whose power rating is greater than 1 W).
A voltmeter can be connected in parallel with a resistor to show the voltage across the resistor.
A series dropping resistor is a resistor that limits the amount of current flow in a circuit.
The first 3 band on a resistor indicate the value of that resistor.
A resistor.
yes, a variable resistor
Otis F. Boykin invented the wire precision resistor and the electrical resistor.
A non-ohmic resistor doesn't have a constant resistance. A ohmic resistor has a constant resistance.
Resistor value is defined by the Resistance the resistor offers in Kilo ohms/ohms value given by color codes on the resistor.
A cement resistor is typically used as a power resistor (a resistor whose power rating is greater than 1 W).
The Cable is the Resistor ! Its a Resistor-Cable ! Greets from the Lake of Constance/Germany !
Where would you find a material which is a resistor? You can find a resistor material in Europe
