    Resistors have the property of resistance which opposes the flow of current and transforms electrical energy into heat. There are two types of resistors: fixed resistors which have a set resistance and are not adjustable, including carbon composition, carbon film, metal film, and wire wound resistors. Variable resistors can be adjusted, either mechanically through a potentiometer or rheostat, or electronically with a digital potentiometer.

    1. Construct a table for resistor coding.

    2. Define resistance A property of a conductor byvirtue of which the passage of current is oppo sed, causingelectric energy to be transformed into heat: equal to thevoltag e across the conductor divided by the current flowingin the conductor: usu ally measured in ohms. 3. What are the two types of resistors? Explain and give examples for each 3.1 Fixed Resistor - A resistor having a fixed, defined electrical resistance which is not adjustable. There are four types of fixed resistors: 3.1.1 Carbon composition 3.1.2 Carbon film 3.1.3 Metal film 3.1.4 Wire wound 3.2 Variable Resistor - A resistor of which the ohmic resistance value can be adjusted. Either mechanically (potentiometer, rheostat) or electronically (digital potentiometer).
