TECHNICAL TERMS

Ampere - basic unit of current

Current - the flow of electrons moving in a given direction
Electronic measuring instrument - portable instruments used to measure electrical
quantities such as current, voltage, and resistance
Ohmmeter - an electronic instrument used to measure resistance of a component or
the entire circuit
Resistance - the opposition to the flow of electrons
Resistor - an electronic component that is used to offer opposition to current in an
electrical circuit
Resistor color coding - a scheme to determine the value of resistors by color
bands printed on their bodies as code
Tolerance - the fourth color in the 3-band color coding that indicates the percentage
of deviation from its color coded value
Volt - basic unit of voltage
Voltage - an electrical pressure that pushes current to flow within a load through a
conductor

RESISTOR
A resistor is a device with a known value of resistance. Its main function is to reduce
voltage and to limit the flow of current in a circuit. This resistance is actually the
opposition that a component or material offers to the flow of current.

Resistance may or may not be useful in circuit/s. When too much current passes
through a conductor, (solid, liquid, gas through which electrons pass easily) the
resistance of the conductor may cause it to become hot. This, in turn, can create a
fire hazard or cause the conductor to burn out. In this case, it is not desirable. In
other cases, when it is placed intentionally in the circuit, it performs its specific task.

Fixed Resistors

It is a single value resistance, which remains the same under the normal
condition. The two common kinds of fixed resistors are carbon resistor and film-type
resistor.

Carbon Resistor Film Resistor

Variable Resistor

Variable resistors are used when it is necessary to change the amount of

resistance in a circuit. There are two common variable resistors, the potentiometer
and rheostat. Generally a potentiometer is generally has carbon resistive element
while the rheostat is generally made of resistance wire.

Potentiometer Rheostat

Resistor Power Rating

Power rating of resistors changes with their sizes, the bigger the resistor the greater
the wattages and the smaller the resistor the lesser the wattage. Different sizes of
resistors are shown below which are drawn to the exact proportion.

The most commonly used electronic components in the field are known as
resistors. Resistor is a discrete component that offers opposition to the flow of
current. Resistors have different types in accordance with the material used like
carbon-composition and the wire wound resistor. According to construction, we have
the fixed resistor and the variable resistor.

Resistors are very common and are the cheapest electronic components in
the market for so many years. Their features are so interesting and are very colorful.
That’s why resistors are very popular among students studying electronics.

One distinct feature of this resistance - giving component is the way its value
is determined. It uses a set of colors which follows a code for its assumed resistance
expressed in OHMS.

Methods of identifying the color code of a resistor.
