What is the function of fixed resistor?
To limit the current
Does a variable resistor have a bias?
A variable resistor means that the resistance can be varied, usually by using a slide. A fixed resistor can not be varied.
What is a fixed resistor measured in?
Resistance is measured in ohms.
Why are fixed resisters used in many circuts?
Hi, where there is no need of changing the value of resistor then why do you place variable resistor instead a fixed resistor. After all the selection of resistor depends on the cause of use in application. by the way wide range of resistor values are avilable in the market. if the application requires tuning operation then variable resistor is need to be mounted. nothing is mandatory unless the application requires.

What does a fixed resistor do in a circuit?
It resist the flow of current according to the resistance value.
What is the purpose of the colors bands on a fixed resistor?
hoy unga why hack mediocres you dirty
What is the difference between a fixed resistor and a variable resistor?
its the colour of the fixed and the variable we define it by its power and name
Find the symbol of fixed resistor?
symbols of fixed resistors
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.
Difference between variable and fixed resistor?
Variable resistors means that a resistor which can change its resistance by control by any person or it self and fixed resistor means that it can not change its value.
What is the function of fixed resistor?
To limit the current
Does a variable resistor have a bias?
A variable resistor means that the resistance can be varied, usually by using a slide. A fixed resistor can not be varied.
What is general purpose resistor?
General purpose resistor is used to resist the current flow.the common resister is general purpose resister.
What is type of resistor in edc labs?
those are the fixed resistor...u can't change their values..
What is the purpose of a resistor connected in the series with the load resistor?
Divide the voltage
What is a fixed resistor measured in?
Resistance is measured in ohms.
What would you expect if resistance of the fixed resistor was zero?
zero
