What is the resistance of a 10-ohm resistor and a 7- ohm resistor in a series?
3
What happens to the resistor when there are more components?
Nothing happens to the resistor other than it may interact with the other components so as to perform a desired function.
What is the function of rheostat in this experiment?
A rheostat is the name given to a variable resistor when it is used to control current. When a variable resistor is used to control voltage, we call it a potentiometer.A rheostat is connected in series with a load, and two of its three terminals are used. A potentiometer is connected in parallel with the supply, and each of its three terminals are used.So the terms 'rheostat' and 'potentiometer' are the names given to describe the function of a variable resistor, not the variable resistor itself.
What is the name of a variable resistor with 3 terminals?
It's called a 'variable resistor'. However, it can function as a 'rheostat' (to control current) when two terminals are connected, or as a 'potentiometer' (to control voltage) when three terminals are connected. The terms, 'rheostat' and 'potentiometer' do not describe the device itself, but how it is being used.
