RESISTORS
Resistors as the name suggests resist the flow of electricity. When a current is passed through a resistor a voltage is developed across it. The resistance to the flow is measured in Ohms (Ω).
Resistors are produced in all sizes and can either be of a solid material or wire wound. The material chosen depends on many factors:
1) The stability with time and temperature.
2) The req ...
