What is a rheostat? A rheostat is a variable resistor which is used to control current. They are able to vary the resistance in a circuit without interruption. The construction is very similar to the construction of a potentiometers. It uses only two connections, even when 3 terminals (as in a potentiometer) are present.
Rheostat is simply a variable resistor. i.e., typically 3 contacts, either end of resistive element and slider contact that moves along resistive element. So, in old radios wo â¦ uld typically be used as a volume control.   A variable resistor may be used to control current, in which case it is called a rheostat. rheostat is a resistor with variable resistance.There are many type of rheostat,involved of a rotary-type rheostat and a sliding rheostst.I dunn know much about the rotary-t â¦ ype rheostat but I can tell u how does a sliding rheostat work.
