terminal electrical component that implements electrical resistance as a circuit element USES OF A RESISTOR • reduce current flow • adjust signal levels • to divide voltages • bias active elements • terminate transmission lines TYPES OF RESISTOR
•Linear Resistors •Non Linear Resistors Linear Resistors
a resistor, which current value is
directly proportional to the applied voltage Non Linear Resistors
are those resistors, where the
current flowing through it does not change according to Ohm’s Law but, changes with change in temperature or applied voltage HOW TO IDENTIFY RESISTORS VALUE How to measure the value of a resistor? ACTIVITY
