A stepped resistor, also known as a variable resistor or rheostat, allows for adjustable resistance levels, enabling fine-tuning of current flow in a circuit. In contrast, a fixed resistor has a constant resistance value and does not change. While stepped resistors can be used for applications requiring variable resistance, fixed resistors are typically used in applications where a specific resistance is needed. The ability to adjust resistance in stepped resistors offers greater flexibility in circuit design.
What else can I help you with?
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 the function of fixed resistor?
To limit the current
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.
Which type of resistor is commonly used in automotive circuits?
fixed value, stepped or tapped, variable
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
What is stepped resistor?
The resistance that controls a heater motor in the electric system .
Find the symbol of fixed resistor?
symbols of fixed resistors
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
What is type of resistor in edc labs?
those are the fixed resistor...u can't change their values..
What is a fixed resistor measured in?
Resistance is measured in ohms.
Example of stepped -fixed cost?
warehousing costs and supervisors' salaries
What would you expect if resistance of the fixed resistor was zero?
zero
