Definition of resistors in English English dictionary
are passive components that restrict current flow They are used in virtually all electronic circuits Resistor categories include foil, thin film, thick film, metal oxide film, carbon film, and wirewound Resistive products also include resistor networks and arrays, in which multiple components are combined in a single package, and thermistors (thermally sensitive resistors)
devices designed to resist the flow of current in an electrical circuit In integrated circuits, resistors of different values are manufactured by controlling the level of doping in N-type semiconductor
A device used to control current in an electric circuit by providing resistance The flex sensor, force sensor and SoftPot potentiometer are all resistive technologies
A device that resists the flow of electrical current for the purpose of operation, protection or control There are two types of resistors - fixed and variable A fixed resistor has a fixed value of ohms while a variable resistor is adjustable
a circuit element that presents a resistance to the flow of electric current A current flowing through a resistance will create a voltage drop across that resistance in accordance with Ohm's law
A resistor is a device which is designed to increase the ability of an electric circuit to stop the flow of an electric current through it. a piece of wire or other material used for increasing electrical resistance
A device that resists the flow of electrical current for the purpose of operation, protection or control There are two types of resistors-fixed and variable A fixed resistor has a fixed value of ohms while a variable resistor is adjustable
All substances which conduct an electric current do so to varying degrees The degree to which they do so is their resistance The term resistor usually means a component designed to offer a known resistance to the current flow
a two-terminal device designed to have the property of resistance It is usually desirable that a resistor should obey Ohm's law and have a resistance that is fairly stable against temperature changes Most resistors are painted with a code consisting of coloured bands which tell you the resistance
A component that nominally 'resists' electrical current flow in a linear manner - i e doubling the voltage applied doubles the current The values of the component is specified in Ohms See Ohms Law
A basic component in electronic circuits that resists the flow of electrical current Resistance is denominated in Ohms Higher resistance results in less current All electrical components (except superconductors) have some resistance, wanted or not Most home speakers are nominally rated at 8 Ohms of resistance (4 Ohms for cars), but in reality the resistance is closer to 6 Ohms in most of the band, has a peak of 20-100 Ohms at resonance, and also rises at high frequencies due to voice coil inductance
an electronic circuit component/device that has electrical resistance and that is used in an electric circuit for protection, voltage division, or current control back to top
