▪is a passive electrical component with the primary function to limit the flow of electric current
resistor
▪ may be connected in series and in parallel with each other or in a combination of both series and parallel▪ may be connected in series and in parallel with each other or in a combination of both series and parallel
resistor
▪is a measure of the opposition to current flow in an electrical circui
Resistance
Resistance is measured in ohms, symbolized by the Greek letter omega (Ω).
Electric Circuit is a group of electricalcomponents that are connected together to form a complete path for current
current flows in one direction
DIRECTCIRCUIT
the direction of the current of the voltage is always constant
DIRECT CIRCUIT
current flowing through the circuit constantly changes direction and magnitude
ALTERNATING CIRCUIT
the direction of the current is always switched periodically and the voltage is also switched
ALTERNATING CIRCUIT
a circuit that contains more than one electrical component connected one after the other in a single path
Series Circuit
the current flows in a single path and is the same in all parts of the circuit
seriescircuit
▪ each component operates independently of the others
