Description

A decade resistance box is a laboratory apparatus used to provide precise and adjustable electrical resistance values in circuits. It consists of a series of resistors arranged in a row, with each resistor having a specific resistance value. The resistors can be switched in and out of the circuit to create a range of different resistance values.

Decade resistance boxes are used in laboratory settings to calibrate and test electrical equipment, as well as to conduct experiments that require precise control of resistance values. They are particularly useful for experiments that involve changing resistance values in small increments, as the resistors can be switched in and out of the circuit one at a time to achieve the desired resistance value.
