resistor

(resistors)

A resistor is a device which is designed to increase the ability of an electric circuit to stop the flow of an electric current through it. (TECHNICAL)

N-COUNT

resistor

¦ noun Physics a device having resistance to the passage of an electric current.

Resistor

A resistor is a passive two-terminal electrical component that implements electrical resistance as a circuit element. In electronic circuits, resistors are used to reduce current flow, adjust signal levels, to divide voltages, bias active elements, and terminate transmission lines, among other uses.

Wikipedia

Resistor

A resistor is a passive two-terminal electrical component that implements electrical resistance as a circuit element. In electronic circuits, resistors are used to reduce current flow, adjust signal levels, to divide voltages, bias active elements, and terminate transmission lines, among other uses. High-power resistors that can dissipate many watts of electrical power as heat may be used as part of motor controls, in power distribution systems, or as test loads for generators. Fixed resistors have resistances that only change slightly with temperature, time or operating voltage. Variable resistors can be used to adjust circuit elements (such as a volume control or a lamp dimmer), or as sensing devices for heat, light, humidity, force, or chemical activity.

Resistors are common elements of electrical networks and electronic circuits and are ubiquitous in electronic equipment. Practical resistors as discrete components can be composed of various compounds and forms. Resistors are also implemented within integrated circuits.

The electrical function of a resistor is specified by its resistance: common commercial resistors are manufactured over a range of more than nine orders of magnitude. The nominal value of the resistance falls within the manufacturing tolerance, indicated on the component.

Examples of use of resistor

1. "I disconnected the resistor and started storing the energy into a battery... that is then used as power.

2. "One of the oldest types of energy used by people is muscular energy – so this is nothing new." Gambarota said machines such as exercycles created a load, used as a counter–force by means of a resistor.

3. As she belted out one novelty hit after another – Bell Bottom Blues, Dreamboat, I Can‘t Tell A Waltz From A Tango, Twenty Tiny Fingers, Never Do A Tango With An Eskimo, Cowboy Jimmy Joe, and Just Couldn‘t Resistor – her style was the very quintessence of kitschand the height of high camp.

4. "Gavaghan explained, however," Griffith–Jones‘s memo continues, "that there had, in past intakes, been more persistent resistors, who had had to be forcibly changed into the camp clothing; that some of them had started the ‘Mau Mau moan‘, a familiar cry that was promptly taken up by the rest of the camp, representing a concerted and symbolic defiance of the camp authorities; that in such cases it was essential to prevent the infection of this ‘moan‘ spreading through the camp, and that accordingly a resistor who started it was put on the ground, a foot placed on his throat and mud stuffed in his mouth; and that a man whose resistance could not be broken down was in the last resort knocked unconscious." Although Gavaghan says that this regime was carried out with the approval of the attorney–general, Baring‘s letter suggests that the routine of beatings was already established and that the colonial authorities were keen to give it legal authority.
