Resistors are one of the three basic electronic components. They restrict the flow of current in an electrical circuit. Fixed resistors have a fixed value of resistance, and are used in almost every electronic circuit for lots of different reasons.

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 is series dropping resistor?
A series dropping resistor is a resistor that limits the amount of current flow in a circuit.
What do the first 3 bands on a resistor indicate?
The first 3 band on a resistor indicate the value of that 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.
Give me a sentence using the word resistor?
Resistor
What is the meaning of LDR?
LDR refers to Light Dependent Resistor.
Which is the Direction of the current in resistor?
A resistor is bi-directional meaning current can flow in either direction. Current flows from positive to negative.
What is the meaning of load resistance?
"Load resistor" is a discriptor, not a value. Any resistor can be a load resistor if it is the proper value and power for your application. So if you want a load resistor by itself, that makes no sense. A load resistor is a resistor selected for a specific purpose. For example, it you want to put a load on an audio amplifier made to drive an 8 ohm speaker to 50 watts, then your load resistor would be a 8 ohm 50 watt resistor. If you want a load resistor to terminate a 50 ohm line, you would need a 50 ohm resistor, although in this case, you probably want one that is part of a co-ax connector. A load resistor for an op-amp output is typically 2k, since most op-amps are rated for 10 volts at 5 mA. Etc, etc.
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 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).
Describe the purpose of the coloured bands on a resistor?
The purpose of colored bands on a resistor is to tell whoever is installing the resistor the amount of resistance that particuliar resistor has.
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.
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.
