About This Product
A jockey is a sliding contact used to tap a point on a resistance wire. In school physics it is used with the metre bridge, which works on the Wheatstone bridge principle, and with the potentiometer to find the balance point where the galvanometer shows no deflection. Students touch the contact lightly to the wire and move it along the scale, and the insulated handle keeps fingers away from the circuit.
