Type of Resistor:

Resistance of a resistor is a
measure of the opposition to
current flow in an electrical
circuit.. Resistance is measured
in ohms. The resistance can be
calculated with Ohm's law, when
the voltage drop across the
A resistor is a passive resistor and the current through
the resistor are known:
electrical component with
the primary function to 𝑉
limit the flow of electric R= 𝐼
current.

Factor affecting resistance: Resistivity:

• Length(L) 𝐴
ρ=R
• it’s cross-sectional 𝐿
