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.
