Question

Define resistor. Define resistance. State its uses .

Answer 1

Dear Student

A resistors is an electrical component that limits or regulates the flow of electrical current in an electronic circuit . Resistors can also be used to provide a specific voltage for an active device such as transistors.

A property of the conductor which opposes the flow of current. Is known as resistance.

Resistance used in the circuit mainly for

1. reduce to the current for our requirement

2. increase the voltage drop for our purpose.
