This part is well-known by now, but we’ve seen lack-of-resistor failures in cheap devices aplenty, and the colloquial advice is “add 5.1 kΩ resistors”. You might be afraid to think it’s ...

When resistors are connected in series, the current through each resistor is the same. In other words, the current is the same at all points in a series circuit. When resistors are connected in ...

material, eg copper, has lower resistance than steel length - longer wires have greater resistance thickness - smaller diameter wires have greater resistance temperature - heating a wire increases ...

If you need to model a common component like a resistor or even an active device, most simulators have great models and you can tweak them to have realistic parasitic effects. But what if the comp ...

This calculator is made to calculate the current handling capacity or the wattage of a resistor, where any two parameters are required to calculate the output power through the resistor. This ...

A resistor is identified by its pattern of color of bands. There are 4, 5 and 6 band resistors. To calculate the resistance of a resistor, you can select the appropriate color bands in the above ...
