Rheostat Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : ILS-PLE-10132
Indian Lab Suppliers supplies the Rheostat (Product ID: 10132) as part of its physics lab equipment range. It is a sliding-contact variable resistor for controlling current in a circuit, and it can also be wired as a potential divider.
Quick Answer
The winding is heavily oxidised eureka wire on a special insulating porcelain tube, mounted on powder-coated aluminium feet. A contact block with a phosphor bronze brush and a double contact system slides smoothly along a chrome-plated brass guide rod. Three insulated brass lock-type socket terminals are fitted: two to the ends of the winding and one to the slider. Total resistance and maximum current are marked on the slider. Several resistance and current ratings and two tube sizes are made, so please confirm the rating and tube dimensions at quotation.

Where This Is Used
Rheostats set the current in Ohm’s law and meter experiments and feed the driver circuit of a Potentiometer 1M, Single Wire (Product ID: 10138); pair it with a Resistance Box (Product ID: 10133) for known resistances.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can it be used as a potentiometer?
Yes. Using all three terminals, it works as a potential divider.
What resistance values are available?
Several resistance and current ratings are made; state the value you need when you ask for a quote.
Why eureka wire?
Its resistance changes very little with temperature, so the setting stays steady as the wire warms.
