RESISTORS ACCORDING TO COMPOSITION
O B J E C T I V E S • Identify the types of resistors. • Discuss the importance of each resistor. • Differentiate each according to usage and composition.
RESISTORS One of themostcommonelectroniccomponentsused as a devicethatlimits, orresistscurrent and produces a desiredamount of voltage in thecircuitisthe resistor. It can bemadefromdifferentmaterials, butthemostcommonisthecarboncomposition. Thecurrentlimitingability, orresistance can bevariedbychangingthe ratio of carbontobindingagent.

CHIP RESISTOR Thistype of resistor wasintroduced in the late 80´s toaccomodatefortheevershrinkingcomputercomponentswherethere can be up to 6 layers per circuitboard.
NETWORK RESISTOR Thistype of resistor comes in compact form and can contain up to 12 resistors in a compact space.

RHEOSTATS The most common way to vary the resistance in a circuit is to use a rheostat.The word "rheostat" was coined about 1845 by Sir Charles Wheatstone, from the Greek word rheos meaning stream, and stat meaning regulating device, which is a two-terminal variable resistor. For low-power applications (less than about 1 watt) a three-terminal potentiometer is often used, with one terminal unconnected or connected to the wiper.
