electronic circuits are those which deals with flow of electrons. in general electronic devices are categorized based on the flow of e as conductor, insulator and semiconductor. since resistor resists the flow of electrons (it deals or works with electrons), it is consider as an electronic device.

What is the meaning of resistor?
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 purpose of a resistor in an electronic circuit If the resistor converts energy to heat then are you wasting energy any time you use a resistor?
In its simplest use a resistor in a circuit is used to limit the amount of current flow, or to decrease the amount of voltage applied to a device. One example is you had a 12 volt battery and you need/ wanted to connect it to a device that ran on 9 volts then a resistor can be chosen to reduce the 12 volts to the 9 volts required.
What device could not provide the energy for current to flow in a circuit?
a resistor
Are headphones an electronic device?
No it isn't. ---- Technically speaking that is correct headphones are not electronic devices. They are a form of tranducer and therefore an electro-mechanical device.
Is diode an active device?
A passive device is a diode resistor coil and so forth it perform no enhancement to the circuit or act on it.
What si a resister?
A resistor is an electronic device that reduces the current flow in a circuit.
What is the function of the legs on a transistor?
as the name suggest transistor means to transfer resistor, it is an electronic device,
What is the NAICS Code for Electronic Resistor Manufacturing?
NAICS 334415 applies to Electronic Resistor Manufacturing.
An electronic device that limits the amount of current that can flow through it?
Not in normal circumstances. A diode is an electonic device that allows current to flow freely in only one direction.
What is the meaning of resistor?
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 a brake chopper?
It is an electrical device (and not a electronic device) which is used as a heating resistor to brake variable frequency drives (ac Drives) externally, (and nowhere related to changing any wave form).

electronic promting device
What device opposes current?
A resistor
What is a device that control currents?
RESISTOR
