Resistor Types

What are the different types of resistors?

There are various types of resistors, all with their own applications, characteristics and components. Fixed value resistors are the most common, but variable resistors are also widely used. The potentiometer and rheostat are the most commonly used variable resistors. Moreover, there are numerous types of resistors with variable resistance that is affected by external factors. The entrance above is connected to the article introducing these different resistors. Definitely worth reading!

Resistor Fundamentals

What does resistor mean?

A resistor is a two-terminal electronic element and has a certain structural form that can restrict the passage of current in the circuit. The effect of conductors on current is called resistance and is represented by the symbol R. As a kind of identification, the resistor symbol is unique to each type of resistor. The unit of resistance is ohm, kiloohm, and megaohm, which are represented by Ω, KΩ, and MΩ, respectively.

Resistor Technique

For the problems caused by the resistors in the practical application process, people solve the problems through accumulated knowledge, experience and skills. This section focuses on how to measure resistance, how to sense resistance, and fault analysis. For example, there is an article that mainly focuses on how to measure ground resistance.
