Rheostat 1600 OHM
Product Code : JA-EE-7504
The Rheostat 1600 OHM (SKU JA-EE-7504) is a 1600 ohm sliding rheostat for controlling current and dividing voltage in school and college electricity practicals. This 1600 ohm rheostat is wound with heavily oxidised resistance wire on a vitreous enamel steel tube held on die-cast end stands, and has a nickel-plated sliding contact and 4 mm terminal posts. JaincoLab supplies it with lower-value rheostats in the same range.
Specifications
The Rheostat 1600 OHM has a total resistance of 1600 ohm, wound with heavily oxidised resistance wire on a vitreous enamel steel tube supported on die-cast end stands; a heavy-duty nickel-plated sliding contact resists corrosion, and 4 mm terminal posts accept a conventional 4 mm plug. The current rating is confirmed on the quotation.

Applications of the 1600 ohm rheostat
A high-value rheostat such as the 1600 ohm unit is used where small currents must be controlled finely, or it is connected as a potential divider so that its slider takes off any fraction of a supply voltage for meters, bridges and sensor circuits.
- Potential divider supply for voltmeter and potentiometer circuits
- Fine control of small currents in galvanometer and bridge circuits
- Setting low currents in semiconductor characteristic experiments
- Voltage control for high-resistance loads
- B.Sc and senior-school electricity practicals
