====== Resistor ====== {{ ::neonking:resistor.jpg?direct |}} ===== 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. ===== MIDIbox related ===== Most of the resistors used in the MBHP hardware platform are 1/4W 5% tolerance // TODO : Put some refs used in MBHP Boards //
