Resistors

• Resistors are the most common components used in electronic circuits.
• It has Two Terminals.
• For low-resistance high power applications Wirewound Resistors are used.
• Small Carbon Resistor with a power rating of 2W or less are most common in electronic circuit.
• Because of smaller size and low cost resistors are preferable for low power application.
• Physically Carbon Resistors are small.
• Manufacturers generally use a color code to indicate their values.
• To control the values of current and voltages variable resistors are used.
• Small variable resistors used in electronic circuit are called Potentiometers or pot.
