A Resistance Box is a laboratory instrument that provides accurate and selectable resistance values for use in electrical and physics experiments. It contains a series of precision resistors connected to removable plugs or rotary switches, allowing users to select different resistance combinations as needed.
Type: Plug-type or rotary dial
Resistance Range: Usually from 1 Ω to 10,000 Ω (10 kΩ)
Accuracy: High-precision wire-wound resistors, ±0.1% to ±1% tolerance
Enclosure: Durable, insulated bakelite or metal casing
Markings: Clearly labeled resistance values for easy selection
Terminals: Two or more brass binding posts for external circuit connection
Used in Ohm’s Law, Kirchhoff’s Law, and Wheatstone Bridge experiments
Helps in calibrating instruments, verifying circuit behavior, and resistance substitution
Commonly used in CBSE/ICSE/State board labs, B.Sc., and engineering practicals
Essential for precision electrical measurements
