*************************************
A resistor is the most ubiquitous of electronic components that is used to
restrict the flow of current.
restrict the flow of current.
Resistance is the opposition that a substance offers to the flow of electric current. It is represented by the uppercase letter R.
Georg Simon Ohm is a German Physicist who created the unit of resistance (ohm).
Glass, Mica, Rubber and Wood are some of the examples of RESISTIVE MATERIALS.

TYPES OF RESISTOR

Georg Simon Ohm created the unit of resistance (ohm) but who actually invented the resistor? -Adrian Paul De Jesus
ReplyDeleteOtis Bobby Boykin is an African-American inventor and engineer who invented the resistor :)
DeleteWhat is the Resistor is important in a circuit ? and what is the possible effect to a circuit if it doesn't have a resistor?
ReplyDelete- KING JAMES MENDOZA
Resistor is very important in a circuit because it has a purpose, its purpose is to restrict the flow of current and there is no other electronic component can replace what's the function of resistor. For example, Take an LED (light). If too much current flows through an LED, it will be destroyed/busted. That's why resistor was invented to limit the current. :)
DeleteHi Ma'am Rica! Based on your answer, you've said that only resistor can restricts the flow of current in a specific circuit, but what if I don't have a resistor is there any way for me to avoid too much flow of current so that my LED will not be destroyed?
DeleteMa'am Christine, If you don't have a resistor, there is a way to light an LED without resistor by supplying low voltage but if you hook the LED up directly to the 5 volts without a resistor, the LED will be over-driven, it will be very bright for a while, and then it will burn out. That's why it is important to put a resistor to limit the current in the LED to a safe value. :)
DeleteHow did resistor prevents from resisting energy?
ReplyDeleteRomel, What do you mean? Will you Please reinstate your question? :)
DeleteMa'am Rics what is the most commonly used type of resistor in the industry?
ReplyDeleteMa'am Maureen, the CARBON FILM RESISTOR is the most commonly used type of resistor because it contains balance carbon and metal inside. :)
DeleteWhen do we need the resistors? Can we put this in our circuit board as many as we want?
ReplyDeleteTeddy, All circuit boards has a resistors to be used to reduce current flow, and, at the same time, may act to lower voltage levels within circuits. Resistors of course it has a purpose why you put it in a circuit. It's not that you can put it as many as you want. But it is safe if you put a resistor in a circuit. Prevention is better than cure #Justsaying :)
DeleteCan we replace insulator? Or can we remove it In a circuit?
ReplyDelete-Cristian De Guzman
DeleteWhat do you mean? an insulator? maybe you got confused. Can i rephrase your question? you mean, "Can we replace RESISTOR?" if that is the case, then AGAIN. Resistor is created to prevent such unwanted damage in your circuit. Putting resistor in a circuit is really necessary :)
DeleteHi ma'am !
ReplyDeleteWhat is the main function of a resistor ?
Jalilah, the main function of a resistor is to restrict/reduce the flow of current and at the same time to lower the voltage levels within a circuit :)
