No, a resistor is not considered a conductor. Resistors are components that impede the flow of electric current, while conductors allow electric current to flow easily.

Is the 10 ohm resistor ohmic or non-ohmic?

If it has constant temperature (one can do this by dipping it in a beaker of water) it can be considered an ohmic conductor since Ohm's law states that the Voltage and amperage are directly proportional in a metallic conductor of constant temperature.


What causes a resistor to heat up?

The current through a resistor or for that matter any conducting medium is caused by flow of electrons. These electrons do not flow like a stream through the resistor or conductor but undergo repeated collisions with the vibrating atoms of the resistor, transferring their kinetic energy to them. This in turn increases the vibrational energy of the atoms and manifest itself as heat in the resistor/ conductor. In turn this results in reduced drift velocity of the electrons resulting in reducing the current , thus acting as a Resistor.


Is bitumen a good conductor?

No, bitumen is not a good conductor of electricity. It is considered to be an insulator rather than a conductor.


What has the least amount of resistance a semi conductor insulator resistor or a conductor?

A conductor has the least amount of resistance among the options provided. Conductors have low resistance due to their ability to easily conduct electricity through the movement of electrons. Conversely, insulators have high resistance, while semiconductors and resistors can have varying levels of resistance depending on their composition and structure.


Is lead conductor semi conductor or insulator?

Lead is a metal and is considered a good conductor of electricity. It is not a semiconductor or insulator.

Which resistor is the beat conductor 150 or 600?

We're guessing that you meant to type "best", that you typed "beat" instead, and that you then didn't take the trouble to proofread your own typing. A resistor with a lower resistance is the better conductor. The resistance of a perfect conductor is zero ohms.


Is an resistor an conductor or a insulator?

A resistor is a conductor that dissipates some of the electrical energy fromthe current flowing through it. The energy dissipated by the resistor is(current through it)2 x (resistance)

How is a resistor different from a fuse?

A resistor is a material that attenuates the current through a conductor. An insulator isolates the conductor from the surrounding material.


Can a pencil sharpened at both ends be used as a conductor?

Yes, but it will have high resistance so it would be better called a resistor than a conductor.


If a carbon resistor increases in temperature its resistance will?

This depends on the type of conductor. If the conductor has a positive coefficient the resistance will increase. If the conductor has a negative temperature coefficient the resistance will decrease.

Is a fork you eat with a resistor or a conductor?

A fork you eat with is a conductor, as it is typically made of metal, which allows electricity to flow through it. Resistors, on the other hand, are materials that limit or resist the flow of electric current. Therefore, a fork does not serve the function of a resistor in electrical circuits.


Why neatural ground resistor using in 33kv transformer?

The function of a neutral earth resistor is to limit any fault current resulting from fault between a line conductor and earth.


What is a light dependent resister?

As light falls on the conductor then emission of electrons would increase the conductivity and so its resistivity decreases. Such a conductor is known as light dependent resistor.
