Resistor
A component that is used to
add resistance
into a circuit
Resistor
Symbol is a
zigzag
line
Used to make a circuit
dimmer
by sharing
potential difference
with a component
Calculating
resistance
Divide
potential difference
by
current
Ohm
Unit of
resistance
Higher
resistance
More energy transferred as
heat
Increasing potential difference across resistor
Increases current
flowing through resistor
Ohmic conductor
Current is directly
proportional
to potential difference
Resistance is
constant
if temperature is constant
Resistance will only stay
constant
if the
temperature
is constant
