No a relay is a switch that uses a control supply that energises a coil that in turn opens or closes a set of contacts that makes or breaks the load. As for a rheostat I think it is basically a simple variable resister feel free anyone to correct me on that

multimetre connected with a rheostat
What causes the blower on a 2001 Chevy Silverado to work on high but not on low?
the blower fan rheostat usually located in blower box is like a resistor that draws energy from the blower fan supply to slow it down and there is a high speed fan relay for the fastest speed. So your rheostat is not working
What is another name for a rheostat?
A variable resistor is another name for a rheostat.
What is role of rheostat?
A rheostat is a resistor with variable resistance.There are many type of rheostat,involved of a rotary-type rheostat and a sliding rheostst.I dunn know much about the rotary-type rheostat but I can tell u how does a sliding rheostat work. A sliding rheostst consists of a coil resistance wire wound on a tube and a sliding contact.The sliding contact be moved on the metal bar.Consider of the length of the resistance wire which let electric current through increases,the reistance would be higher and decrease the elctric current.Thus by moving the sliding contact,we can adjust the size of electric current.It's ofter used as a dimmer or to adjustl the voluime of the radio. If you are interested in the rotary-type rheostat,try to find it by yourself!
2000 silverado fuel level sensor not working?
Could be a fuse, relay, rheostat (the wire winding inside housing of the sender unit), a bad connector, bad wire.
Where does lost energy in a rheostat go?
It is lost in heating the resistive material of the rheostat.
Can you use a rheostat on fluorescent lights?
No, rheostats are not typically used with fluorescent lights. Fluorescent lights require a specific type of ballast to control the current and voltage, which is different from the functionality of a rheostat. Using a rheostat with fluorescent lights can lead to inefficient operation and potential damage to the lights.
What is the hypothesis of a rheostat?
The hypothesis of a rheostat is that by changing the resistance in a circuit using the rheostat, the current flowing through the circuit can be varied, thus regulating the output of the circuit.
