Resistors can be seen in almost all electronic circuits. There are many types of resistors and they can be divided into two groups namely fixed resistor and adjustable resistor (variable resistor). The main function of the resistor is to resist the flow of electric current and regulate the flow of electrons. This is done by… [Read More]
Resistor
Resistor is the basic passive component used in electronics. We cannot imagine an electronic circuit without a resistor. Codrey Electronics explains the resistor basics, types of resistor and applications of resistor in electronics.
What is Electrical Resistance?
The electrical resistance of an electrical conductor is a measure of the difficulty to pass an electric current through that conductor. A conductor has free electrons randomly moving inside. When an electric potential is applied to it, the electrons collide with other atoms and molecules of the conductor. The atoms and molecules create the obstruction in the flow of electrons….

Resistor Basics
In most electronic circuits different components are used to build robust embedded systems. To name a few: Resistors, Capacitors, Inductors, Diodes, and Transistors, Flip-flops and Logic gates. Among these, the resistor is one of the basic components used in Emergency lighting, Medical Devices, Battery operated equipment and many more applications. Surprisingly enough, the resistor is… [Read More]
