The components which resist or oppose the flow of electrons in any electrical or electrical circuit is called resistor. The force by which it resists flow of current is called resistance. It is measured in Ohms (Ω). Resistors are used to limit current flowing through a circuit or to divide the voltage in a circuit.
Types of Resistors
i) Fixed Value Resistors.
ii) Variable Value Resistors.
Fixed Resistors: The Resistors whose value remain same and can’t be changed is called fixed value resistor. Fixed value resistors can be of following types:
a) Carbon Resistors: These types of Resistors are manufactured from mixture of carbon or graphite and clay. These are also made in metalized type by decomposing a homogeneous film of pure carbon or metal over glass, ceramic or any other insulating core.
b) Wire Wound Resistors: These types of resistors are made
