Educational 6 Inch Sliding Rheostat Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Product Code : SCL-EE-12723

The Educational 6 Inch Sliding Rheostat is a 6-inch variable-resistance physics laboratory apparatus used to control current in low-voltage circuits for Ohm’s law, resistance variation, voltage-drop study, current limiting, and circuit-training experiments. It is suitable for schools, colleges, physics labs, STEM classrooms, distributors, and institutional procurement teams.

Product Description

Educational 6 Inch Sliding Rheostat from School Equipments India is intended for supervised physics and electrical laboratory practicals. A sliding rheostat changes resistance by moving a contact along a resistive element, allowing learners to observe how current changes when circuit resistance is adjusted. The 6-inch size is taken from the product name; exact resistance range, current rating, power rating, winding material, tube material, terminals, dimensions, and calibration status must be confirmed from the final supplied product.

This apparatus helps students connect circuit diagrams with measurable electrical behaviour. It supports practical work on Ohm’s law, variable resistance, series circuits, voltage-current relationships, current control, and safe adjustment of laboratory circuits. It should not be described as a precision calibration instrument unless valid calibration documentation is supplied.

Key Features

• 6-inch educational format: compact size for school physics benches and practical training setups.
• Sliding resistance control: allows smooth adjustment of resistance during circuit experiments.
• Current-control function: helps students observe how current changes when resistance is increased or decreased.
• Ohm’s law teaching aid: supports demonstrations involving voltage, current, resistance, and meter readings.
• Hands-on circuit practice: useful for wiring, data recording, observation, and concept reinforcement.
• Construction to confirm: slider, winding, tube, base, terminals, insulation, and contact design must be verified.
• Ratings to confirm: resistance range, current limit, power rating, and tolerance should be checked before procurement.

How to Use the Educational 6 Inch Sliding Rheostat

1. Check the product label, resistance range, current rating, terminals, and experiment instructions before use.
2. Keep the power supply switched off while making circuit connections.
3. Connect the sliding rheostat in the required circuit position using suitable laboratory leads.
4. Set the slider to the safe starting position recommended by the teacher.
5. Switch on only the approved low-voltage laboratory supply.
6. Move the slider gradually and observe ammeter and voltmeter readings.
7. Record readings at different slider positions without exceeding the confirmed rating.
8. Switch off the supply before disconnecting, repositioning, or storing the apparatus.

Safety note: Use only under teacher or laboratory-supervisor control. Do not overload the rheostat, connect it directly to mains voltage, touch terminals during live experiments, or continue use if heating, sparking, burning smell, or unstable readings occur.

Care & Maintenance

• Store in a dry, dust-free cabinet after practical sessions.
• Keep slider contacts, terminals, tube surface, and connection points clean and corrosion-free.
• Do not exceed the confirmed current, voltage, or power rating.
• Quarantine the apparatus if the slider is loose, winding is damaged, terminals overheat, or readings become unstable.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an Educational 6 Inch Sliding Rheostat used for?

An Educational 6 Inch Sliding Rheostat is used to vary resistance and control current in low-voltage physics lab circuits for Ohm’s law, voltage-drop, and circuit-training experiments.

Is a sliding rheostat a variable resistor?

Yes. A sliding rheostat is a type of variable resistor that changes circuit resistance through a movable contact or slider.

Can it be used for Ohm’s law experiments?

Yes. A sliding rheostat can be used in Ohm’s law experiments to vary resistance and observe changes in current and voltage readings.

What does 6 inch mean in this product?

The 6-inch value is taken from the product name and should be confirmed as the physical size or tube length from the final supplied product.

What is the resistance range?

The resistance range is not confirmed. Add the exact ohm range, current rating, and power rating only after checking the product label or supplier documentation.

Does it include calibration documentation?

Calibration documentation is not confirmed. Do not claim a calibration certificate, test report, or accuracy class unless supplied with the final product.
