|
Description They are made with a bare constantan wire wound at helix on a state ruler. A copper multiple connection rests on the wire. The connection is driven by a brass pole parallel to the ruler. Terminal boards are placed at the ends of the resistance and on the driving pole of the cursor. | |||

Description The model is made with a wire wound on two slate prisms supported by the same metallic frame and with two different cursors. The disposition of the terminal boards is such that the two resistances can have connections parallel or in series, allowing a larger use of the apparatus. A data plate applied to the cursor of every rheostat indicates the total resistance and the current in amperes that the rheostat can sustain for a short time without danger. Fifty per cent of the current indicated can be sustained without a great increase of the temperature. | |||

Description It is a rheostat with a carbon resistance. By rotating the carbon cylinder we change the position where the contact happens between the little metallic wheel and the lateral surface of the cylinder. The surfaces of the basis of the cylinder are each connected to a chuck. The wheel is connected to a third chuck. | |||

Description A calibrated silver nickel wire is stretched on a 1.20 m mahogany basis that lies on a one-meter millimetric scale. A cursor slides on the wire. Two copper wires applied under complete the rectangle and are collected to the terminal boards of the unknown resistance, of the calibrated resistance and of the cell. The circuits are indicated with very visible white lines. | |||

Description To obtain the electrolysis with this voltameter we pour acidulous water into the tank and then we fill the two little bells with the same liquid. Then, keeping them closed with a finger, we overturn them and we immerse them into the liquid of the tank by hanging them to their respective hooks. Then we connect the electrodes to a 4-6 volt cell. | |||

Description Two spirals of niccolite, one with a resistance twice as the other, are stretched on the two balloons, each one of which communicating with a tube. After opening the upper keys, we pour a coloured liquid into the manometer, and then we close the keys. We send the current into the two spirals connected in series and we observe a different shift in the two manometers. The middle binding post allows using the two spirals separately to demonstrate that the quantity of developed heat is directly proportional to the square of the current intensity for the same conductor. For the two experiences a tension of 4 volt is enough, with a rheostat in series to regulate the current intensity. | |||
