What Is a Rheostat?

A Rheostat is a variable resistor used to regulate the flow of electric current in an electrical circuit. By moving the sliding contact along the resistance wire, the user can increase or decrease the electrical resistance, thereby controlling the current without changing the power source.

The 6-inch rheostat is ideal for educational experiments where precise current control is required.

Working Principle

The Rheostat operates on Ohm’s Law.

When the sliding contact moves along the resistance wire:

• The effective length of the resistance wire changes.
• The electrical resistance increases or decreases.
• The current flowing through the circuit is adjusted accordingly.

This simple mechanism enables students to understand the relationship between resistance, voltage, and current.
