Rheostat



The rheostat is a device made of resistance wire and insulating material, with a sliding contact and cast-metal end cheeks. It allows for the adjustment of electrical resistance in a circuit without interrupting the flow of current. It is commonly used to demonstrate the function of dimmer switches and motor speeds. more details
Key Features:
  • Resistance wire: The main component of a rheostat is a resistance wire, typically made of a material such as nichrome, which provides resistance to the flow of current.
  • Sliding contact: The sliding contact, also known as a wiper, is a movable metal piece that can be adjusted along the resistance wire to change the amount of resistance in the circuit.
  • Insulating material: The resistance wire is typically wrapped around or embedded in an insulating material, such as ceramic or plastic, to prevent electrical currents from flowing through the rheostat itself.

Description
The rheostat is a device made of resistance wire and insulating material, with a sliding contact and cast-metal end cheeks. It allows for the adjustment of electrical resistance in a circuit without interrupting the flow of current. It is commonly used to demonstrate the function of dimmer switches and motor speeds.

The rheostat is made from resistance wire wound on an insulating, heat-resistant tube. It is supported by cast-metal end cheeks and has a sliding contact. It allows you to adjust the electrical resistance of a circuit without intefering with the flow of current. It's used to demonstrate how dimmer switches and motor speeds work.
