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.

Is carbon an ore?
Carbon is an element common in many ores. an ore is a composition of many elements
Carbon dioxide is made up of atoms of carbon and?
it is comprised of 1 carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms carbon dioxide basically means 1 carbon to two oxygens, its similar to the composition of water, 2 to 1
What is composition of atmospheric air at sea level?
oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, carbon dioxide,moisture, carbon monoxide, dust .. less percentage of other gases.....
What makes coal's composition different from that of all the other sedimentary rocks?
Coal is an organic sedimentary rock. It has conchoidal fracture. The composition is so different because coal, depending on age, contains mostly carbon as it is formed from plant cellulose. It is different because it is carbon, as opposed to a common mineral like other sedimentary rocks.

Most common failure in a resistor?
This depends on the type of resistor. Carbon composition and metal film resistors typically will burn open, carbon film types can short.
What is the advantage of film resistors over carbon resister?
Film resistors have lower noise than carbon resistors.
What is a carbon composition resistor used for?
Carbon resistors can be used on an variety of electronics and are widely used today. They can withstand very high pulses of energy like that from a medical defibrillator.
What are those materials of resistors?
most of the resistors commonly used are carbon resistors
What are the types of resistors its application and uses?
This seems like a question from an electrical course, and is probably best answered by your course materials. It's your test question, not ours, and there won't always be someone to ask for the answer. Earn your diploma.
What do carbon film resistors do?
make stuff
Why is carbon a good conductor of electricity?
No, carbon is a common element used in resistors in electronics.
What is a carbon combustion resistor?
Carbon compositionCarboncompositionresistors consist of a solid cylindrical resistive element with embedded wire leads or metal end caps to which the lead wires are attached. The body of the resistor is protected with paint or plastic. Early 20th-century carbon composition resistors had uninsulated bodies; the lead wires were wrapped around the ends of the resistance element rod and soldered. The completed resistor was painted for color coding of its value. The resistive element is made from a mixture of finely ground (powdered) carbon and an insulating material (usually ceramic). A resin holds the mixture together. The resistance is determined by the ratio of the fill material (the powdered ceramic) to the carbon. Higher concentrations of carbon, a weak conductor, result in lower resistance. Carbon composition resistors were commonly used in the 1960s and earlier, but are not so popular for general use now as other types have better specifications, such as tolerance, voltage dependence, and stress (carbon composition resistors will change value when stressed with over-voltages). Moreover, if internal moisture content (from exposure for some length of time to a humid environment) is significant, soldering heat will create a non-reversible change in resistance value. Carbon composition resistors have poor stability with time and were consequently factory sorted to, at best, only 5% tolerance.[4] These resistors, however, if never subjected to overvoltage nor overheating were remarkably reliable considering the component's size [5]They are still available, but comparatively quite costly. Values ranged from fractions of an ohm to 22 megohms. Because of the high price, these resistors are no longer used in most applications. However, carbonresistors are used in power supplies and welding controls.[5]
What is the composition of a molecule of CO if C stands for carbon?
The composition of CO is carbon + oxygen
What are specifications of resistor?
The resistance, the precision of that value, the thermal or electrical environment, the style of indicating these values. There are wire-wound resistors, cracked carbon resistors, carbon resistors and so on.
