Resistors
Definition
A resistor is a passive two-terminal electrical component that implements electrical resistance as a circuit element.
Resistors are passive electronic devices that either limit current or allow for a drop in voltage.
Resistors
Resistors determine the flow of current in an electrical circuit. Where there is high resistance in a circuit, the flow of current is small. Where the resistance is low resistance, the flow of current is large.
Ohm’s Law:
The resistance is directly proportional to the voltage and inversely proportional to the current.
Unit of Measurement
The ohm (symbol: Ω) is the SI unit of electrical resistance, named after Georg Simon Ohm. An ohm is equivalent to a volt per ampere.
Electronic Symbol
American-style Symbols (a) resistor, (b) rheostat (variable resistor), and (c) potentiometer
IEC-style resistor symbol
Usage
Resistors as Current Limiting Devices
Generally, a power supply isn't specifically designed to drive a single device. If the LED was connected directly to the supply, it would be destroyed instantly. Adding a current limiting device such as a resistor limits the current flow through the LED and allows the LED to operate properly.
Resistors as Voltage Dividers
If two resistors are connected in series between the power supply output terminals, the voltage on the point
