Resistor is the basic passive component used in electronics. We cannot imagine an electronic circuit without a resistor. Codrey Electronics explains the resistor basics, types of resistor and applications of resistor in electronics.
What is Potentiometer? Potentiometer or Rheostat is one type of passive variable resistor (variable potentiometer) either carbon or wire wound, with three terminals used to get the desired voltage division. Hence, the name variable voltage […]
The Power rating of a resistor can be said as the maximum amount of power that the resistor can withstand. The resistor power rating is the specification given to a resistor other than the ohms […]
When a number of resistors are connected in such a way that the end of first resistor is connected to beginning of second resistor and the end of second one to third resistor and so […]
Resistor color code indicates that a series of colored bands are painted on the resistor and most of the manufacturers identify their resistance value by means of a color code. There are various values of […]
Temperature coefficient of resistance, this is the factor that temperature does affect the value of resistance in a resistor or a conducting wire. All the resistors value of resistance is specified at specific temperature and […]
Resistors can be seen in almost all electronic circuits. There are many types of resistors and they can be divided into two groups namely fixed resistor and adjustable resistor (variable resistor). The main function of […]
The electrical resistance of an electrical conductor is a measure of the difficulty to pass an electric current through that conductor. A conductor has free electrons randomly moving inside. When an electric potential is applied to it, the electrons collide […]
Resistor, this is a common electronic component seen in electronic circuits. This is one of the basic components used in Emergency lighting, Medical Devices, Battery operated equipment, and many more applications. The word Resistor came […]
