The main function of resistors in a circuit is to control the flow of current to other components. Take an LED (light) for example. If too much current flows through an LED it is destroyed. So a resistor is used to limit the current.

A fixed resistor cannot be changed as it is set at a specific value, whereas a variable resistor can manage flows at and below a specific level.

The measuring instrument called apotentiometer is essentially a voltage divider used for measuring electric potential (voltage); the component is an implementation of the same principle, hence its name.Potentiometers are commonly used to control electrical devices such as volume controls on audio equipment.

Boykin, who took a special interest in working with resistors, began researching and inventing on his own. He sought and received a patent for a wire precision resistor on June 16, 1959. This resistor would later be used in radios and televisions.

A rheostat is a variable resistor. By changing the resistance you can control the current flowing through it. This can then be used to control downstream devices like transistors or lamps. Dimmer switches on incandescent lights are rheostats.

The big advantage of carbon composition resistors is their ability to withstand high energy pulses. When current flows through the resistor, the entire carbon composition body conducts the energy.

The advantage of a wirewound resistor has a much smaller volume of the wire to conduct.

there's a lot of value of different colors of resistor example the black.
black is zero if you find it in first and second color and the multiplier of black is 1.

what is the use of tolerance in resistor?

what are the main types of resistor?

how can you determine if the resistor is damage?

if the resistor is damage can we fixed it? or we need to replaced it?

what are the possible reason why a resistor damaged?

is Otis Frank Boykin is the only one who invent resistor?

Tolerance is the percentage of error in the resistor's resistance, or how much more or less you can expect a resistor's actual measured resistance to be from its stated resistance. A gold tolerance band is 5% tolerance, silver is 10%, and no band at all would mean a 20% tolerance

Where and when is the rheostat used often?

What is the difference between fixed resistor and variable resistor?

What type of resistor are commonly used?

Differentiate potentiometer and rheostat.

When did the resistor start?

Who has discovered the resistor?

How does each resistor be named?

What value are commonly used in potentiometer?

Rheostat is also known as tapped resistors or variable wire wound resistors.

Is the rheostat has a specific value? What is it?

Do resistor fail open or short?
