  2. Resistor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resistor

    For example, a 10 ohm resistor connected in parallel with a 5 ohm resistor and a 15 ohm resistor produces ⁠ 1 / 1/10 + 1/5 + 1/15 ⁠ ohms of resistance, or ⁠ 30 / 11 ⁠ = 2.727 ohms. A resistor network that is a combination of parallel and series connections can be broken up into smaller parts that are either one or the other.

    A mnemonic which includes color name(s) generally reduces the chances of confusing black and brown. Some mnemonics that are easy to remember: Big Boys Race Our Young Girls But Violet Generally Wins.

  4. List of resistors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_resistors

    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.

    A current dependent resistor formed of a fine wire in an envelope, useful for regulating current. humidistat A switch that operates automatically on detecting a change in moisture content of the air. HVAC High Voltage Alternating Current; depending on context, this could be hundreds or hundreds of thousands of volts. HVDC converter station

  6. Electrical element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_element

    This is the case for all linear elements, but also, for example, an ideal diode, which in circuit theory terms is a non-linear resistor, has a constitutive relation of the form = (). Both independent voltage and independent current sources can be considered non-linear resistors under this definition. [3]

  7. Electronic color code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_color_code

    A 2.26 kΩ, 1%-precision resistor with 5 color bands (), from top, 2-2-6-1-1; the last two brown bands indicate the multiplier (×10) and the tolerance (1%).. An electronic color code or electronic colour code (see spelling differences) is used to indicate the values or ratings of electronic components, usually for resistors, but also for capacitors, inductors, diodes and others.

  8. Ohm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohm

    The power dissipated by a resistor may be calculated from its resistance, and the voltage or current involved. The formula is a combination of Ohm's law and Joule's law: = = =, where P is the power, R is the resistance, V is the voltage across the resistor, and I is the current through the resistor.

  9. Current–voltage characteristic - Wikipedia

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

    For example, resistors, capacitors, and inductors are linear, while diodes and transistors are nonlinear. An I–V curve which is a straight line through the origin with positive slope represents a linear or ohmic resistor, the most common type of resistance encountered in circuits.
