What is Resistor and How to Read Resistor Color Code

This paper shows the comprehensive introduction of resistor which is one of the common electronic components. Resistance is the ability to impede the flow of electrons, that is, the value of resistance, the unit is "Ω". A resistor is a device that has a certain resistance to current flow.

What Is Thermistor and How Does It Works?

The thermistor is a semiconductor ceramic component made of transition metal oxide as the main raw material. It belongs to the category of negative temperature coefficient thermistor, and it has the characteristic that the resistance value changes with the change of temperature, that is, the resistance value. The temperature rises and falls.

What is the Current Limiting Resistor and Its Function?

In a circuit, a resistor in series with other components and no signal output at its series connection, so that when the component connected in series is short-circuited, and the voltage applied to the resistor does not burn the resistor, such a resistor is a current limiter. Resistance, otherwise it is not called current limiting resistor, but called protection resistor, or load resistor.

What is Resistor and Its Function?

Before we understand resistors, we need to know what a resistor is. The resistance is often abbreviated as R, which is a basic property of a conductor and is related to the size, material, and temperature of the conductor. The basic unit of resistance is ohms, which is represented by the Greek letter "Ω".
