A resistor is one of the most common elements of any circuit. Resistance is the property of a resistor which limits the flow of electric current.
1. to reduce the value of current in the circuit;
2. to produce IR voltage drop and in this way to change the value of the voltage.
When current is passing through a resistor its temperature rises high. The higher the value of current the higher is the temperature of a resistor. Each resistor has a maximum temperature to which it may be heated without a trouble. If the temperature rises higher the resistor burns and opens the circuit.
Resistors are rated in watts. The watt is the rate at which electric energy is supplied when a current of one ampere is passing at a potential difference of one volt.
Some resistors have a constant value - these are fixed resistors, the value of other resistors may be varied - these are variable resistors.
