Resistor( properties,deffination,symbol ,colour code and questions answered)

 Resistance is a measure of the opposition to current flow in electrical circuit. resistance is measured in OHM.

Register is a passive component with the primary function to limite the flow of current.


- basically resistor are used to limit the current and reduce the voltage flow through the circuit (unit of resistance is ohm)

Equation of resistance:

The resistance( R )of a given material is proportional to its length( l )and inversely proportional to its area of cross section. Therefore, the resistance of a material is given by the symbolic re presentation of resistor .

• There are two types of resistors : fixed resistors and variable resistors. If the electrical resistance value is constant, it is a fixed resistor. If the electrical resistance value is adjustable, it is a variable resistor. Rheostat and potentiometers are examples.

FIXED RESISTOR:


A fixed resistor is a part of an electric circuit. It is used to reduce the flow of electricity in an electric circuit.


Variable Resistors



These are three-terminal devices. Two terminals arefixed while the third one is connected to a movable cap which slides along the element, changing the resistance between end terminal and tap terminal.  They are also called potentiometers, trimmers and rheostats. Potentiometers are designed for frequent and continuous movement of the Trimmers are used only for occasional movement of the tap Rheostat is a wirewound variable resistor of higher wattage with three terminals



PROPERTIES OF RESISTOR:

1.tempreture cofficient of Resistor: The change in resistor value due to temperature is indicated by temperature coefficient.

2.Voltage Coefficient of Resistor: This is indicated by the voltage coefficient of resistor. It is defined as the percentage change in resistance from the purchase resistance of a resistor when 1 volt DC is applied. 

3.Stability: It is the change in resistance value under shelf life or working conditions. Due to good stability

4.Maximum Operating Voltage: its value and power rating together décide the maximum operating voltage. 

5.Size:the value of resistor are depend on his size 

6.Shelf and Load Life: A good resistor should not change its value under working conditions as well as under idle conditions.

7. Power Handling Capacity : It is the maximum wattage that a resistor can dissipate without the excessive heat. From power rating, the maximum current a resistor can carry safely can be found. Carbon resistors have less power handling capacity. 

8.Maximum Operating Temperature: The coating used on the resistors decides the maximum operating temperature of the resistors. 

9.Thermal Noise:


10.Tolerance: The tolerance is specified as a percentage of nominal value, i.e., ±5%, ±10% of nominal value. When no tolerance is given, then 20% is assumed.

11.frequency range:

12.Solderability :

13. Current Noise: When current flows through the resistance, low frequency noise is caused by the current.
