They are used in circuits and devices commonly (eg.the computer and TV) they slow the amount of electrons going through so that if you are plugged into the mains and have a light bulb that is small, the resistor would be put in place to the device eg.the light bulb doesnt burn out.

Why do you have to use resistors and capacitors in gadgets and devices?

Because the device needs their electrical properties in order to work.


What are those materials of resistors?

most of the resistors commonly used are carbon resistors


What are the types of resistors its application and uses?

This seems like a question from an electrical course, and is probably best answered by your course materials. It's your test question, not ours, and there won't always be someone to ask for the answer. Earn your diploma.


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.


What is the advantage of film resistors over carbon resister?

Film resistors have lower noise than carbon resistors.


What are Resistors wired in series?

Resistors are wired in series when they are connected in a line. The current flows through the resistors one after the other.


Two resistors are connected in parallel to a battery What must the votlage across these two resistors?

Both resistors will have the voltage of the battery.


What is carbon composition?

Carbon composition resistors are resistors that are made with carbon or graphite mixed with a binding material. It's one type of resistors among several. There are also carbon-film resistors and metal-film resistors. Out of all the resistors, carbon-film resistors have the greatest tolerances and changes to temperature fluctations. Thus, they are used in applications where precision isn't critical and where temperature will not change drastically.

What are resistors and why are they used?

Resistors are like funnels, they restrict the flow of current.


Why resistors are connecting?

What is your observation of resistors in series?

I observe that the total effective resistance of several resistors in series is the sum of the individual resistance values of the individual resistors.
