Definition of "Resistor" |
A device usually made of wire or carbon which presents a resistance to current flow. / The electrical component that offers resistance to the flow of current. It may be a coil of fine wire or a composition rod. [Resistor Definitions, Resistor Manufacturers] / A resistor is a passive two-terminal electrical component that implements electrical resistance as a circuit element. Resistors act to reduce current flow, and, at the same time, act to lower voltage levels within circuits. / A resistor is a passive two-terminal electrical component that implements electrical resistance as a circuit element. Resistors act to reduce current flow, and, at the same time, act to lower voltage levels within circuits. Resistors may have fixed resistances or variable resistances, such as those found in thermistors, varistors, trimmers, photoresistors and potentiometers. / In networking, a terminal is a personal computer or workstation connected to a mainframe. The personal computer usually runs terminal emulation software that makes the mainframe think it is like any other mainframe terminal. / component made of material that opposes flow of current and therefore has some value of resistance. |
