The end from which you go through less total resistance
to get to the positive terminal of the power supply.
Also it doesn't matter which way round you put it in circuit as its not like a polarized capacitor, it has no polarity.
Electrons move from the negative end of the tube to the positive end because they are negatively charged particles that are attracted to the positive charge. This movement creates an electric current in the circuit.
An axial lead resistor is a type of resistor in which the leads (metal wires) are attached to the ends of the resistor body along its axis. This type of resistor is commonly used in electronic circuits for various applications, such as current limiting and voltage dropping. Axial lead resistors are easily mounted on printed circuit boards and are available in a wide range of resistance values and power ratings.
The positive terminal of a battery is typically located at the end with a plus sign () symbol.
In an electrical circuit, the end of a battery or power source that has a higher voltage or potential is considered positive. This end provides the flow of electrons through the circuit and is typically labeled with a plus symbol (+).
Current flows through a resistor, not across it.
with a voltomiter
A resistor is bi-directional meaning current can flow in either direction. Current flows from positive to negative.
No. A resistor's electrical characteristics are bidirectional.
IF there is a Resistor
A rheostat is simply a variable resistor used to control current. It does not have a positive or a negative terminal.
Most LEDs have one lead longer than the other, or a flat side on the rim of the base, to indicate polarity. An LED that has neither of these must be marked in some other way. The only way to identify the polarity of an unmarked LED is to test it. A common AA or C battery in series with a small resistor of 50-100 ohms will do the job. The LED lights when the positive end of the battery ... possibly through the resistor ... goes to the positive end of the LED. (There is no harm to the LED when the battery is connected backwards and the LED doesn't light.)
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.
The positive end of a battery goes to the positive end of the terminal. In retro spec, the negative end of a battery goes to the negative end of the terminal.
Positive end to positive end = repel Negative end to negative end = repel Negative end to positive end = attract
Current = charge (electrons) flowing through a resistor.Voltage = energy lost across a resistor.Power = energy lost across a resistor per second.So yes you are correct. Current is established through a component, while voltage and power are established across a component.Answer'Voltage' is a synonym for 'potential difference'. As the name implies, voltage describes the difference in potential between (or 'across') two different points. So voltage is applied ACROSS a resistor.Further to the original answer. voltage is NOT equivalent to 'the energy lost across a resistor', and power is NOT 'established across a resistor' (power is simply a 'rate', nothing more)!
