Resistors

Components that limit current flow in electrical circuits.

Resistors are passive components used to limit current flow, divide voltages, and manage signal levels in electrical circuits. They come in various forms, including fixed, variable (potentiometers), and specialized types like thermistors and photoresistors. Standards such as IEC and EIA guide their specifications and ratings. Resistors are ubiquitous in electronic devices, from simple circuits to complex industrial machinery.
