Resistance Coil – 10 Ohm (KS4+)

The 10 Ohm Resistance Coil is a robust, easy‑to‑use component designed for KS4 and post‑16 physics education. It provides a low, fixed resistance that can be conveniently introduced into electrical circuits, making it ideal for basic electrical experiments and investigative work in school science laboratories.

This resistance unit is housed in a durable block fitted with standard 4mm socket terminals, allowing quick, safe, and secure connections using conventional laboratory leads. Compared with loose resistors, these resistance blocks are more practical for classroom use, reducing setup time while improving reliability and safety for students.

With a nominal power rating of 1 watt, the 10 ohm resistance coil is suitable for low‑voltage educational circuits, particularly where higher currents are required to explore electrical behaviour. The stable resistance value helps students achieve consistent and repeatable results during practical investigations.
