In electricity what is the function of a resistor?
current limiter
What is the difference between resistor and insulator?
A resistor lets electricity flow, but in a calculated restriction of amount. An insulator prevents electricity from flowing across it - period.
What would could transform electricity to heat?
A resistor.
What is a device that resists the flow of electricity in a circuit?
A resistor.
What is the difference between a resistor and an inductor?
Both a resistor and an inductor are electrical components designed to impede the unregulated flow of electricity. Where they differ is that inductors store energy in their induction coils which forms a magnetic field that focuses energy by the principle of inductance. As electricity passes into the inductor, current will slowly rise to a specified level. A resistor simply impedes the flow of electricity according to its property, but does not store energy. It also does not control the rate at which the current changes, it just changes the current allowed to pass through.
What is a device that control currents?
RESISTOR
What is the Device in a circuit to make it harder for electricity to flow?
the device is a resistor
What is the function for resistor?
the answer is that it is allowed to get the electricity right and it has energy power saver
What is a material which allows electricity to flow through it but with but with resistance?
A "resistance" or "resistor".
What is a resistor block?
It is a resistor or a group of resisters used to control the flow or current in a circuit. Like the resistor block in a car controls the speed of the a/c blower.
If it is difficult for electricity to flow through a component what is it called?
Resistive Or a resistor High Impedance
When invented resistor?
invented in 500BC before electricity was invented
