Applications of the jockey with insulated handle
In class 12 and B.Sc physics practicals the jockey is the moving contact used to locate the null point on a slide wire, so it appears in meter bridge resistance measurements, potentiometer comparisons of EMF and internal resistance experiments.
- Finding the balance point on a meter bridge to measure an unknown resistance
- Comparing the EMFs of two cells with a potentiometer
- Measuring the internal resistance of a cell with a potentiometer
- Checking the resistance per unit length of a bridge wire
- Replacement jockeys for existing bridge and potentiometer sets
