Resistor
Introduction
A resistor is an electrical or electronic component that resists the flow of electrons in a circuit.
There are several types of resistors including carbon, ceramic, fixed wirewound, variable wirewound, stationary adjustable wirewound and forms of integrated circuits.
How much a resistor impedes the current flow is called resistance and is measured in ohms. Most resistors have a fixed value as to how much resistance they will display. Wattage, qualities and tolerance values vary according to needs.
Most of the resistors used in the MBHP hardware platform are 1/4W 5% tolerance.
You should buy a bunch of resistors @ Ebay , this is a costless investment you will find very useful in the end!
