Resistor

Resistors are electronic components that are always used in every electronic circuit because it functions as a regulator of electric currents. With an electric resistor can be distributed according to need.
In electronic circuits the resistor is denoted by the number "R", while the icon is like this:. There are several types of resistors in the market include: Carbon Resistor, wirewound, and Metal Films. There is also a resistor that can be changed resistance value, among others: Potentiometer and trimpot. There was also a resistor that changes its resistance when exposed to light called LDR (Light Dependent Resistor) and resistors of the resistance value changes depending on the ambient temperature called NTC (Negative Thermal Resistance)
