No, resistors do not store energy. They dissipate electrical energy in the form of heat when current passes through them.
A resistor gets hot when electricity passes through it because the resistance in the resistor causes some of the electrical energy to be converted into heat energy. This heat energy is dissipated as the resistor resists the flow of electricity, leading to an increase in temperature.
When we say that energy is lost in a resistor, it really means that electrical energy has bee transformed into other forms of energy. These other forms of energy do not easily get changed back into electrical energy.
A capacitor can be charged without using a resistor by connecting it directly to a power source, such as a battery, which provides a constant voltage. This allows the capacitor to store electrical energy without the need for a resistor to limit the flow of current.
To find the energy dissipated in a resistor, you can use the formula: Energy (current)2 x resistance x time. This formula calculates the energy dissipated in the resistor based on the current flowing through it, the resistance of the resistor, and the time the current flows.
Yes, a resistor converts electrical energy into heat as it interferes with the flow of charge. This energy is dissipated in the form of heat due to the resistance of the resistor material.

When electrons move through a resistor, they encounter resistance, which causes them to collide with the atoms in the resistor material. These collisions result in the transfer of kinetic energy from the electrons to the atoms, increasing the vibrational energy of the atoms. This energy transfer manifests as thermal energy or heat, leading to an increase in the temperature of the resistor. Thus, the energy lost by the electrons is converted into heat energy due to resistive heating, also known as Joule heating.

A resistor, which converts some electric energy to thermal energy!
Both a resistor and an inductor are electrical components designed to impede the unregulated flow of electricity. Where they differ is that inductors store energy in their induction coils which forms a magnetic field that focuses energy by the principle of inductance. As electricity passes into the inductor, current will slowly rise to a specified level. A resistor simply impedes the flow of electricity according to its property, but does not store energy. It also does not control the rate at which the current changes, it just changes the current allowed to pass through.

Yes, a resistor converts electrical energy into heat as it interferes with the flow of charge. This energy is dissipated in the form of heat due to the resistance of the resistor material.
A resistor is a device that impedes or limits the flow of electrical current in a circuit. It converts the current's electrical energy into heat (thermal) energy. A resistor reduces the amount of energy in a circuit and pumps it out as a heat.
