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".
