Resistors

Resistors are essential components in electronic circuits that limit current flow to ensure the safe operation of other components. They work according to Ohm's Law, with resistance values measured in ohms (Ω). High-value resistors allow less current, while low-value resistors permit more current to pass through.

 

Key applications include:**

- Voltage regulation:** They balance current to maintain the desired voltage level in a circuit.

- Signal processing:** Resistors stabilize and fine-tune electronic signals.

- LED protection:** They help limit current to prevent LEDs from burning out.

 

In summary, resistors are crucial for controlling circuit behavior and protecting components.
