Study Notes
- Resistors are electrical components that control current flow.
- They can be manufactured to have specific values of electrical resistance.
- The higher the resistance, the more difficult it is for current to flow.
- Resistance converts electrical energy into heat.
- Semiconductors are materials that conduct electricity, but not as well as conductors.
- Semiconductors have special properties and can be doped with impurities.
- Electrical conduction in semiconductors is always a result of the motion of electrons or holes.
- Holes are a shortage of an electron and move in the opposite direction of electrons.
- Thick wires and high voltages reduce resistance loss in long-distance electrical lines.
- Semiconductors are important in electronic circuits.
