Meaning
An electrical device that resists the flow of electrical current.
Classification
Nouns denoting man-made objects.
Examples
- The circuit designer used a high-value resistor to limit the amount of current flowing through the sensitive electronic device.
- A resistor is an essential component in an electrical circuit, used to control the flow of electrons.
- In the simple circuit, the resistor was used in series with the battery and the light bulb to regulate the voltage.
- The engineer carefully selected a resistor with the correct ohmic value to ensure that the correct amount of current flowed to the microcontroller.
- The resistor was connected in parallel with the capacitor to form a low-pass filter that filtered out high-frequency signals.
