well its hell to you gays it is nikky
Um... "resistors". There are different types, with specific names, generally based on how they're constructed, but they're still called resistors.
Sure some resistors are wire wound chrome wire and as such will display an inductance characteristics
This seems like a question from an electrical course, and is probably best answered by your course materials. It's your test question, not ours, and there won't always be someone to ask for the answer. Earn your diploma.
The same thing they do in every circuit, resist the flow of electricity. That being said there are Many types of ossilators, and they can use resistors for many purposes.
There are various forms of resistors used for electronic circuits. You can divide it in mainly two basic types: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.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:Carbon Film ResistorMetal Oxide Film ResistorPrecision Metal Film ResistorWire Wound Resistor (WWR)Power Film ResistorPrecision Wire Wound ResistorHigh Power Wire Wound ResistorPhotocellLight Dependant Resistor (LDR)Voltage Dependant Resistor (VDR)

There is no set range for these types of resistors. The biggest thing to keep in mind is the heat that is generated by the resistance and the applied voltage. The device should be large enough to dissipate this heat.
most of the resistors commonly used are carbon resistors
There are many types of Resistors , which can be classified in many ways. The fundamental classification is based on the Power Handling Rating , which breaks up into Power Resistors & Low power resistors. Power Resistors can handle large Powers & Currents. These are generally made of High Resistance alloys like Nichrome , which are used in heaters , toasters etc. Some types of small power resistors are also used in electronic circuits which handle large currents like in power supplies etc. Infact the incandescent lamp is a special form of power resistor. Low power resistors are usually used in electronic circuitry , which again have different power capacity ratings usually less than 1watt to small surface mounted devices which are rated for few tenths of milliwatts. Another important classification is based on the stability of the resistor material & hence its ohmic values. Such resistors are used for precision applications like measuring circuits , meters etc. Then there are specialised forms of clasification depending on application e.g Positive & Negative Temeprature coefficient resistors ( Thermistors ) are used for temperature sensing , Voltage Dependent resistors are used in protection circuitry, High Voltage resistors are used where requires for high voltage ( kilovolts ) electronic circuitry like X Ray , Laser & Electrostatic Power supplies.
Carbon composition resistors are resistors that are made with carbon or graphite mixed with a binding material. It's one type of resistors among several. There are also carbon-film resistors and metal-film resistors. Out of all the resistors, carbon-film resistors have the greatest tolerances and changes to temperature fluctations. Thus, they are used in applications where precision isn't critical and where temperature will not change drastically.
The total resistance of resistors in series is simply the sum of the resistance values of those resistors. If the resistors are identical, then you can multiply the resistance of one of them by the number of resistors in the circuit.
