Types of Resistors

Resistors perform two basic functions in a circuit: they limit current flow and set voltage levels within a circuit.

We have various kinds of resistors e.g. fixed resistors, variable resistors, digitally adjustable resistors, photoresistors, fusible resistors, etc.

Generally, resistors can … Read more

Resistance and Resistivity

The resistance of an electrical conductor depends on 4 factors, namely:

  1. The length of the conductor
  2. The cross-sectional area of the conductor
  3. The type of material
  4. The temperature of the material

The resistance, R, is directly proportional to length L … Read more
