Circuit Board Resistors. This particular circuit board is a computer accessory called a modem which allows digital information transfer over telephone lines. Their function is to resist the flow of current by dissipating electric power as heat.
This particular circuit board is a computer accessory called a modem which allows digital information transfer over telephone lines. Most are printed with either a color code or an alphanumeric code to indicate their ohmic value and tolerance how much their resistance may vary. An ohm is a standard for measuring electrical resistance.
Transistors diodes or monolithic ics and passive components e g.
When calculating resistance the measurements are in ohms. A resistor is a passive two terminal electrical component that implements electrical resistance as a circuit element. It s actually a pretty boring device. Well maybe it gets warm but that s it.
