    • : an adjustable resistor so constructed that its resistance may be changed without opening the circuit in which it is connected, thereby controlling the current in the circuit.

Examples

  • This can, however, be accomplished by means of a small rheostat placed in series with the motor.

  • The rheostat acts in an electrical circuit in just the same way a valve does in a hydraulic circuit.
