A resistor doesn't deteriorate with age, and has no particular 'life-span',
as long as it's used properly.
-- A resistor in a box on the shelf, or in a circuit where it stays cool, will last
indefinitely.
-- A resistor in a circuit where it's forced to dissipate enough power to make it
hot may change its resistance value permanently, but will continue to operate.
-- A resistor in a circuit where it's forced to dissipate even more than that,
to a ridiculous extreme, may melt or explode. When that happens, it's the
end of the resistor's life-span. But it wasn't the resistor's fault.

What is the function of a cement resistor?
A cement resistor is typically used as a power resistor (a resistor whose power rating is greater than 1 W).
Voltmeter is connected in parallel with resistor?
A voltmeter can be connected in parallel with a resistor to show the voltage across the resistor.
What is series dropping resistor?
A series dropping resistor is a resistor that limits the amount of current flow in a circuit.
What do the first 3 bands on a resistor indicate?
The first 3 band on a resistor indicate the value of that resistor.
A can be used to reduce the current in a circuit?
A resistor.
Why should care about resistor temperature increase?
You should care about resistor temperature increase because it can lead to changes in the resistor's electrical properties, such as resistance value and tolerance. Excessive heat can also reduce the lifespan of the resistor and potentially cause it to fail. Monitoring temperature is important to ensure the resistor operates within safe limits and provides accurate performance.
Is Light dependent resistor an example of resistor?
yes, a variable resistor
How does a resistor effect batteries in parallel and batteries in series?
In a series circuit, adding a resistor increases the total resistance, which can reduce the current flowing through the batteries, potentially extending their lifespan but also decreasing the overall voltage available to the load. In a parallel circuit, a resistor can limit the current through each branch, helping to balance the load across the batteries and preventing one battery from over-discharging. However, excessive resistance in a parallel setup can lead to insufficient current supply to the load. Overall, the resistor plays a critical role in managing current and protecting battery health in both configurations.
Who invented the resistor?
Otis F. Boykin invented the wire precision resistor and the electrical resistor.
What is the difference between an ohmic resistor and a non-ohmic resistor?
A non-ohmic resistor doesn't have a constant resistance. A ohmic resistor has a constant resistance.
What are resistor values defined by?
Resistor value is defined by the Resistance the resistor offers in Kilo ohms/ohms value given by color codes on the resistor.
