rheostat's Usage Examples:

There were two different classes of these rheostats, one used.

If only two terminals are used, one end and the wiper, it acts as a variable resistor or rheostat.

of the metal chain, opening the way for the construction of molecular rheostats, switches, and transistors.

frequent and rapid starts and re-starts, thus a high heat load to the rheostats, may include water circulation to external heat exchangers.

often containing upwards of 30 vacuum tubes, as well as transformers, rheostats, and other heavy electronics.

typically two or three tuning knobs and tube filament voltage-control rheostats, all of which had to be set correctly to receive a station.

The laboratory set includes "a welter of retorts, alembics, rheostats and plain, old neon tubing".

Variable resistors, such as the potentiometer and the rheostat, have ohmic characteristics.

heat in the resistor element of the rheostat, but tolerable because the total power was low.

S-P and P combinations, the rheostat is divided in three branches connected in parallel; this lowers the overall rheostat equivalent resistance to about.

Because their dimming effect depended a great deal on the total load applied to each rheostat.

Dimmers based on rheostats were inefficient since they would dissipate a significant portion of the.
