What is another word for rheostatics?
Pronunciation: [ɹɪəstˈatɪks] (IPA) 
The word "rheostatics" refers to a device used for controlling electric current. Some synonyms for rheostatics include variable resistors, potentiometers, adjustable resistors, or voltage regulators. These devices are commonly used in electrical circuits to control the amount of current flowing through a circuit. The rheostat can be used to dim lights, regulate the speed of electric motors, or control the volume of audio amplifiers. By adjusting the resistance, a rheostat can alter the amount of current flowing through a circuit to regulate the power output or voltage. Different types of rheostats exist, including wirewound, carbon composition, and film resistors. Nevertheless, they all perform the same essential function of controlling electrical current.
