Rheostat
Product Code : JL-LE-10626
The Rheostat (SKU JL-LE-10626, Cat. No. JSS 940/076) is an open slide wire rheostat for controlling current in physics circuits. Its winding is copper-nickel alloy wire, oxidised so that neighbouring turns are insulated from each other, and a sliding contact moving along the winding changes the resistance in the circuit. It stands on plastic legs and is offered in a variety of resistance values and current ratings.
