\u00a0).<\/p>\nA passive linear circuit element that presents an electrical resistance between two nodes in a circuit. Resistance is measured in Ohms ( \u00a0).<\/p>\n
Their value is represented by a colour coding scheme. Manufacturers offer a range of resistor values.<\/p>\n
There are different parameters to consider when selecting a resistor, including:<\/p>\n
tolerance <\/b>% – a measure<\/b> of deviation from the intended value<\/p>\n
power<\/b> (W) – the maximum sustained power that can be dissipated by a resistor<\/p>\n
form factor<\/b> – there are various sizes and shapes, ranging from ultra small surface mounted devices to components with large metal windings.<\/p>\n
materials <\/b>– different materials exist, each with different properties including ability to dissipate heat, tolerance, thermal stability and noise.<\/p>\n
Identification and colour codes<\/b> – There are some great online sites for working out the value of resistors.<\/p>\n
