A resistor is a component of an electrical circuit that resists the flow of electrical current. A resistor has two terminals across which electricity must pass, and is designed to drop the voltage of the current as it flows from one terminal to the next. A resistor is primarily used to create and maintain a known safe current within an electrical component.
What else can I help you with?
Does current flow through a resistor, or does it flow across a resistor?
Current flows through a resistor, not across it.
Is a battery a resistor if not what is?
No, a battery is not a resistor. A battery provides electrical energy, while a resistor is a component that restricts the flow of current in a circuit.
How does current change through a resistor?
When an electric current flows through a resistor, the resistor resists the flow of the current, causing a decrease in the current. This decrease in current is proportional to the resistance of the resistor, as described by Ohm's Law.
What is the rule for voltage across each resistor?
The rule for voltage across each resistor in a series circuit is that the total voltage supplied by the source is equal to the sum of the voltage drops across each resistor. In a parallel circuit, the voltage across each resistor is the same and equal to the source voltage.
Does a resistor reduce current or voltage in an electrical circuit?
A resistor reduces the flow of current in an electrical circuit, which in turn affects the voltage across the resistor.
Is Light dependent resistor an example of resistor?
yes, a variable resistor
Who invented the resistor?
Otis F. Boykin invented the wire precision resistor and the electrical resistor.
What is the difference between an ohmic resistor and a non-ohmic resistor?
A non-ohmic resistor doesn't have a constant resistance. A ohmic resistor has a constant resistance.
What is the function of a cement resistor?
A cement resistor is typically used as a power resistor (a resistor whose power rating is greater than 1 W).
What are resistor values defined by?
Resistor value is defined by the Resistance the resistor offers in Kilo ohms/ohms value given by color codes on the resistor.
Where is the resistor for the coil on a mercruiser 470?
The Cable is the Resistor ! Its a Resistor-Cable ! Greets from the Lake of Constance/Germany !
Where would you find a material which is a resistor?

Voltmeter is connected in parallel with resistor?
A voltmeter can be connected in parallel with a resistor to show the voltage across the resistor.
What is series dropping resistor?
A series dropping resistor is a resistor that limits the amount of current flow in a circuit.
Where is the alternator resistor on a 1994 Chrysler new yorker?
The alternator does not have a resistor.The alternator does not have a resistor.
What do the first 3 bands on a resistor indicate?
The first 3 band on a resistor indicate the value of that resistor.
Where is the ballast resistor on a 2000 Chrysler Sebring convertible?
It does not have a ballast resistor.It does not have a ballast resistor.
