Rheostat -> Changes current without changing voltage
But if current inverses, voltage should also because V proportional to I. Then how does rheostat do it?
According to Ohm's law, the voltage across and current through a resistor are proportional.
If one places a variable resistance (rheostat) across a voltage source, the voltage across the rheostat is fixed.
By fixing the voltage across the rheostat, the current through becomes inversely proportional to the resistance:
i(R)=V /R
So we can change current by changing resistance as voltage is constant.
