There are various forms of resistors used for electronic circuits. You can divide it in mainly two basic types:

  1. Fixed Resistors: The resistors that come with two wires are listed in this resistor type. These kinds of resistors do not allow you to change the resistance.
  2. Variable Resistors: These types of resistors allow you to change the resistance using the resistance using the knob.

Some other types or resistors are as following:

  1. Carbon Film Resistor
  2. Metal Oxide Film Resistor
  3. Precision Metal Film Resistor
  4. Wire Wound Resistor (WWR)
  5. Power Film Resistor
  6. Precision Wire Wound Resistor
  7. High Power Wire Wound Resistor
  8. Photocell
  9. Light Dependant Resistor (LDR)
  10. Voltage Dependant Resistor (VDR)

What is the current running through a resistor of 9 ohms with volts of 90?

I = E / RIf the voltage across the resistor is 90 volts, and the resistance of the resistoris 9 ohms, then the current through the resistor is90/9 = 10 Amperes.Don't try this at home!The power dissipated by the resistor is E2/R = (90)2/9 = 900 watts. That's comparable to the power (heat) dissipated by a small toaster. A common composition resistor will get hot and possibly explode if it's asked to dissipate that kind of power.
