    Study Notes

    Resistor Characteristics and Properties

    • Resistors are passive components
    • Resistors oppose the flow of electrical current
    • Resistors are rated by power rating (Watts)
    • Resistance is measured in Ohms (Ω)
    • Resistors are generally categorized as fixed or variable
    • Common resistor types include carbon, film, and wire-wound
    • Resistor power rating is important to avoid damage

    Resistor Types

    • Fixed Resistors: Have a predetermined resistance value
    • Variable Resistors: Resistance can be adjusted (e.g., potentiometer)
    • Thermistors: Resistance changes with temperature
    • Photoresistors (LDRs): Resistance changes with light intensity
    • Varistors (VDRs): Resistance changes with voltage
    • Wire wound: Used for high power applications
    • Film: Used for high precision applications
    • Carbon: Inexpensive; lower tolerances
    • Variable: Also known as potentiometers
    • Color-coded: Use color bands to identify values and tolerances (e.g., 4, 5, 6 bands)

    Ohm's Law

    • Ohm's law states that voltage (V) equals current (I) times resistance (R): V = IR
    • This relationship exists in certain materials or components commonly known as Ohmic components.

    Power Dissipation

    • Power (P) is measured in Watts and calculated using the formulas P= I²R & P = V²/R.
    • The power rating of a resistor limits the amount of heat it can safely dissipate in the form of heat.
    • Safety factor is important and ensures the resistor doesn't get permanently damaged.

    Resistor Combinations

    • Series: Resistances add up: Rtotal = R1 + R2 + ...
    • Parallel: Reciprocals of the resistances add up: 1/Rtotal = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + ...

    Resistor Tolerance

    • Tolerance indicates the acceptable variation in the resistor's actual resistance compared to its rated value.

    Other Important Facts

    • Resistors are used in most electronic circuits
    • Resistors are used in many applications
    • Resistor values have a tolerance percentage
    • Resistors can be rated for different power requirements
    • Resistors can be categorized based on how they are constructed
