    Resistors are electronic devices that convert electrical energy into heat energy and have many applications. They are rated in Ohms, defined as the resistance that produces 1 amp when a constant potential difference of 1 volt is applied. Resistors have a set value indicated by colored bands or numbers and can vary the resistance they provide, with common types including potentiometers.

    Resistors are an electronic device that converts electrical energy into heat
    energy

    They have many applications but generally


    Resistors are rated in Ohms

    Ohms is defined as a resistance between two points of a conductor when


    a constant potential difference of 1 volt produces in the conductor 1 amps
    Set value of a resistor is a color of bands or a number

    These resistors can vary the amount of resistance they provide

    Measuring Resistors

    Not polarity sensitive


    Set multimeter to Ohms
    Measure 2 diff. Resistors
