Rheostat
A rheostat is a type of variable resistor that is commonly used in electrical circuits to control the amount of current flowing through a circuit. It is designed to be able to adjust the resistance of a circuit by changing the amount of current that flows through it. This makes it an essential component in many electronic devices such as radios, televisions, and computers. The name "rheostat" comes from the Greek words "rheos" meaning "current" and "statos" meaning "stationary".
