Rheostat 16 ohm
Product Code : JA-EE-7514
The Rheostat 16 ohm (SKU JA-EE-7514) is a low-value sliding rheostat for current control in school and college electricity practicals, such as lamp, motor and Ohm's law circuits on low-voltage supplies. This 16 ohm rheostat for school labs has heavily oxidised resistance wire wound on a vitreous enamel steel tube with die-cast end stands, a nickel-plated heavy-duty slider and 4 mm terminal posts. JaincoLab supplies it to physics laboratories.
Specifications
The Rheostat 16 ohm has a 16 ohm winding of heavily oxidised resistance wire on a vitreous enamel steel tube supported on die-cast end stands, with a heavy-duty nickel-plated sliding contact and 4 mm terminal posts for a conventional 4 mm plug; its current rating is confirmed on the quotation.

Applications of the 16 ohm rheostat
Because its total resistance is low, the 16 ohm rheostat is used in series with lamps, small motors and resistors on low-voltage supplies, where students vary the current over a useful range and record matching ammeter and voltmeter readings.
- Ohm's law readings with a resistor on a low-voltage supply
- Dimming a filament lamp and plotting its characteristic
- Controlling the speed of a small DC motor
- Adjusting current in electromagnet and heating-effect experiments
- Class sets of low-value rheostats
