It is a component or substance which reduces the flow of electricity in a circuit. Their will be one in your mobile phone charger to stop 240/230 volts being routed into your phone( which would probably charge it very quickly but then it would blow up!) Also a resistor is the opposite of a conductor i.e something that resists conducting electricity.
it's generally the resistance. its generally the energy dissipiating component called Resistor
they do not have any electrical property that is polarity sensitive
All a resistor does is use electrical energy, converting it to heat. so a 10 ohm resistor with 5 volts across it will dissipate 2.5 watts. this will come out as heat, ie, the resistor will get hot.
transistor
Resistors have resisting power(resists the electric power).Due to having the resistive property, the name resistor is given to such electrical device.
The component in an electrical circuit that provides resistance is called a resistor.
I resistor is called so because it provides electrical resistance (measured in ohms). Electrical resistance describes how an electrical conductor (a wire) opposes the flow of an electrical current (flow of electrons). To overcome this opposition a voltage (a energy) must dropped (used) across the conductor (wire).
A device used to adjust the flow of electrical current is called a resistor.
A resistor reduces the flow of current in an electrical circuit, which in turn affects the voltage across the resistor.
You cannot 'slow' the flow of current in a wire. What you can do, however, is to reduce its value, or to limit its upper value. The device that will do this is a resistor. If, by your question, you are asking how to reduce the rate of change in its magnitude, then you can use an inductor.
It is a variable resistor. Basically, the same as when you turn up or down the heat on an electrical oven or radio.
Otis F. Boykin invented the wire precision resistor and the electrical resistor.
A resistor is a passive two-terminal electrical component that limits the current flowing in electrical or electronic circuits.
A resistor reduces voltage in an electrical circuit by converting some of the electrical energy into heat. This process slows down the flow of electricity, resulting in a decrease in voltage across the resistor.
Otis F. Boykin invented the wire precision resistor and the electrical resistor. In June 1959, he got the first patent for the wire precision resistor and in June 1965, he got his patent for the electrical resistor.
Voltage x current. In a resistor for example it is the voltage drop across it that is relevant, it may be part of a circuit.
The name for an electrical load that converts electrical energy into heat energy is a resistor. Resistor works by resisting the flow of electricity through a circuit, which in turn generates heat as a byproduct.
