Rheostat 6 Inches Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : SCL-EAE-11284
The Rheostat 6 Inches works by changing the effective length of resistance wire included in a circuit. Moving the sliding contact along the resistance element changes the resistance between the selected terminals and produces a corresponding change in circuit current.
The compact configuration is suitable for classroom demonstrations and supervised student practicals. The exact resistance value, current rating, resistance-wire material, terminal arrangement, former material and dimensional basis of the 6-inch designation must be confirmed from the approved product specification.
Key Features
6-inch nominal format: Provides a compact rheostat configuration for educational circuit experiments.
Variable resistance control: Uses a movable contact to adjust the effective resistance in the circuit.
Current-control demonstration: Shows how changing resistance affects electrical current.
Visible operating mechanism: Helps learners relate slider position to changes in circuit behaviour.
Practical measurement support: Can be used with compatible ammeters and voltmeters.
Reusable laboratory apparatus: Suitable for repeated experiments when operated within its confirmed rating.
Simple circuit integration: Connects with suitable low-voltage supplies, switches, leads and electrical loads.

How to Use the Rheostat 6 Inches
Place the rheostat on a clean, dry and stable laboratory bench.
Check its confirmed resistance and maximum current ratings.
Move the slider to a position that introduces high resistance.
Keep the circuit power supply switched off while making connections.
Connect the correct terminals according to the experiment diagram.
Switch on the low-voltage supply and move the slider gradually.
Observe and record the corresponding current or voltage readings.
Switch off the supply before changing wiring or removing the apparatus.
Safety note: Do not exceed the confirmed current or power rating. The resistance winding may become hot during operation. Disconnect the supply and allow the rheostat to cool before handling or storage.
Care & Maintenance
Store the rheostat in a dry, dust-free laboratory cabinet.
Keep the resistance winding, slider and terminals clean.
Move the slider gently without forcing it against the end stops.
Inspect the winding, contact and terminal connections before use.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Rheostat 6 Inches used for?
It is used to vary resistance and control current in a compatible educational electrical circuit.
How does a sliding rheostat work?
The slider changes the effective length of resistance wire included in the circuit. Changing that length changes the electrical resistance.
Can this rheostat be used for an Ohm’s law experiment?
Yes. It can vary circuit current when used with a suitable power supply, fixed resistor, ammeter and voltmeter.
What is the resistance rating of the rheostat?
The resistance value and maximum current rating have not been supplied. Confirm both specifications before ordering or use.
Is the Rheostat 6 Inches suitable for school laboratories?
Yes. It is intended for supervised electrical experiments in schools, colleges and introductory technical laboratories.
Why can a rheostat become hot?
A rheostat dissipates electrical energy as heat while carrying current. Excessive current or prolonged operation can overheat the resistance winding.
