Resistors
A resistor is an electrical component that limits or regulates the
flow of electrical current in an electronic circuit. It is expressed in
ohms, .

Resistors
A resistor is an electrical component that limits or regulates the
flow of electrical current in an electronic circuit. It is expressed in
ohms, .

Resistors and other electrical devices that offer resistance can be

connected in either series or parallel.

A circuit is in series connection if there is only one flow for the

current. If one component is removed, the entire circuit stops.

A series is in parallel connection there are at least two paths or

flows for the current. Even if one component is removed, other paths
will still work.
