Question

What are the primary characteristics of a resistor? Provide an example of each. What secondary characteristics of a resistor can affect circuit performance if not anticipated? List some, with an example of each. What is the term applied to many of the characteristics described in 2? What are some major types of resistor construction? Which type or types are available in ratings which make it inexpensive? Which type or types are best for low-duty-cycle, relatively high power? Which type or types are available in high precision? Which type or types are available with low temperature coefficients? Which type or types are noisy? What value and specifications are appropriate for R(out) & R(in)?

Explanation / Answer

Resistance: - The opposition offered by a circuit to the flow of current is called the resistance. There are two types of resistances fixed and variable. Power:- The resistance are available in quarter watt, half watt, one watt, 2 watt, etc Temperature coefficient: - Resistance is increased by increasing the temperature. Resistance is decreased by increasing the temperature. Noise: - Unwanted sound is known as noise. Some resistances produce unwanted noise. As solder soft on a connection, every joint produces the noise. Inductance: - Some resistances are made wire bound. These resistance have low resistance and high current toleration capacity
