Resistors have resisting power(resists the electric power).Due to having the resistive property, the name resistor is given to such electrical device.

How do you find the resistance of a series circuit with n identical resistors?

The total resistance of resistors in series is simply the sum of the resistance values of those resistors. If the resistors are identical, then you can multiply the resistance of one of them by the number of resistors in the circuit.

A Kelvin bridge (as well called a Kelvin double bridge and in some countries a Thomson bridge) is a measuring instrument used to measure unknown electrical resistors below 1 ohm. It is specifically designed to measure resistors that are built as four terminal resistors.

Does a toaster have a resistor?

Look inside the toaster when it is toasting. The wires that go back and forth and glow red during toasting are resistors, there is one of these wire resistors on each side of each slot to provide the heat that does the toasting. The wire of these resistors is made of an alloy called Nichrome, made of Nickel and Chromium, that has relatively high resistance. Nichrome is also used in wirewound resistors in electronic devices.
