Rheostat – 600 Ohms, 0.6 Amps

This 600‑ohm, 0.6‑amp Rheostat is a durable, high‑quality variable resistor designed for classroom and laboratory electrical experiments. Built as a single‑tube rheostat, it features robust die‑cast metal feet for enhanced stability during practical work. The resistance element is carefully wound with heavily oxidised resistance wire on a porcelain tube, ensuring excellent heat resistance, smooth adjustment, and long‑lasting performance.

Ideal for regulating current and adjusting resistance in school physics circuits, this rheostat provides reliable and precise control for a wide range of practical demonstrations and investigations.
