In the previous article, we discussed the signal behavior of a resistor. We also talked about various applications of resistors. A resistor is supposed to offer fixed resistance to the flow of current. That is what any ideal resistor (theoretically) is supposed to do. The ideal resistor is a...
These resistors can be obtained in a wide range of resistance values (from a few ohms to millions of ohms).Metal film Resistor Thick Film and Thin Film Types of ResistorsThin film resistors are made by sputtering some resistive material onto an insulating substrate (a method of vacuum deposit...
Thus the resistors are energy converters from electrical energy to heat. Moreover, there are two types of resistors in electrical engineering; fixed resistors and variable resistors which I will explain later. The flow of charge through any material encounters opposition from that material. This ...
Over a time period, the resistors of various types which were and are being used in the production of electronics have undergone continuous change. The resistors which were used previously consisted of lead as their component along with being very large in size when compared to the resistors of...
What is Tolerance of a Resistor? The tolerance of resistors is mostly 1%, 2%, 5% and 10%. In the old days, 20% was also common, but these are now rare. Even 10% resistors are hard to get except in extremely high or low values (> 1M or < 1R), where they may be the only o...
“Just give me a freaking 100k resistor man!”, you scream in despair. Believe me, I know your frustration. It took me a long time to actually bother reading about different types of resistors. So I just chose random resistors for all my electronic circuits. Usually, it worked flawlessly...
aNext, you learn about the basic components of electronics such as resistors, capacitors, inductors, transformers, diodes, transistors, and especially integrated circuits. Then you will discover all the different types of electronic circuits used to make up any electronic device. The functional block...
Components suitable for THT include resistors, capacitors, diodes, and integrated circuit sockets, among others. THT was one of the primary assembly methods for electronic components before the rise of Surface Mount Technology (SMT), which introduced smaller and more densely packed components suitable ...
The four basic types of electronic components include capacitors, resistors, diodes, transistors. Each of these types perform specific function when added into an electronic system.What are Electronics? The first thing that comes to mind when the word electronics is mentioned has something to do wit...
An analog chip typically includes a transistor along with passive elements such as an inductor, capacitors, and resistors. Analog chips are more prone to noise, or small variations in voltage, which can cause errors. Mixed Circuit Semiconductors Mixed circuit semiconductors are typically digital ch...
