Rheostat 100 OHMS
A 100-ohm rheostat is a variable resistor used to adjust resistance up to 100 ohms, allowing precise control over current in electrical circuits. It is commonly applied in motor speed control, light dimming, and laboratory experiments.
Key Properties:
-
Resistance: Adjustable up to 100 ohms.
-
Function: By varying its resistance, the rheostat allows for precise control of current in circuits, making it suitable for controlling motor speeds, adjusting light intensity, or setting the power in heating elements.
-
Design: The rheostat consists of a resistive element (often carbon or metal oxide) and a wiper that moves across the element to change the resistance value.
-
Material: Made from durable materials such as ceramic, carbon, or metal oxide to handle power dissipation and heat.
Uses:
-
Controlling current in electrical circuits.
-
Adjusting motor speed, dimming lights, or regulating heating elements.
-
Often used in laboratories, educational setups, and electrical testing for precise control over circuit parameters.
