  2. Current–voltage characteristic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current–voltage...

    In this type the resistance varies with the applied voltage or current. Negative resistance vs positive resistance: If the I–V curve has a positive slope (increasing to the right) throughout, it represents a positive resistance. An I–V curve that is nonmonotonic (having peaks and valleys) represents a device which has negative resistance.

    Then, every student learned the phrase ELI the ICE man as a reminder that: For an inductive (L) circuit, the EMF (E) is ahead of the current (I) While for a capactive circuit (C), the current (I) is ahead of the EMF (E). And then they all lived happily ever after. [3]

  4. Electrical resistance and conductance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_resistance_and...

    Also called chordal or DC resistance This corresponds to the usual definition of resistance; the voltage divided by the current R s t a t i c = V I. {\displaystyle R_{\mathrm {static} }={V \over I}.} It is the slope of the line (chord) from the origin through the point on the curve. Static resistance determines the power dissipation in an electrical component. Points on the current–voltage ...

  5. Ohm's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohm's_law

    If the resistance is not constant, the previous equation cannot be called Ohm's law, but it can still be used as a definition of static/DC resistance. [4] Ohm's law is an empirical relation which accurately describes the conductivity of the vast majority of electrically conductive materials over many orders of magnitude of current.

  6. Resistor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resistor

    Various resistor types of different shapes and sizes. A resistor is a passive two-terminal electrical component that implements electrical resistance as a circuit element. In electronic circuits, resistors are used to reduce current flow, adjust signal levels, to divide voltages, bias active elements, and terminate transmission lines, among other uses.
