Rheostat



The rheostat is a device made of resistance wire and insulating material, with a sliding contact, used to adjust the electrical resistance in a circuit without interrupting the current flow. 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 long, coiled wire made of a material with high electrical resistance, such as nichrome or tungsten. This wire is responsible for controlling the flow of electricity in the circuit.
  • Insulating material: The resistance wire is usually wrapped in an insulating material, such as ceramic or plastic, to protect it from damage and to prevent electric shocks.
  • Sliding contact: The rheostat has a movable contact or wiper that slides along the resistance wire, allowing the user to adjust the amount of resistance in the circuit. This contact can be moved manually or via a motorized mechanism.

Description
The rheostat is a device made of resistance wire and insulating material, with a sliding contact, used to adjust the electrical resistance in a circuit without interrupting the current flow. 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.
