Resistors
A resistor is a circuit component which has
electrical resistance; it slows the movement of
electrons through it.
Resistors dissipate electrical energy, converting it
to heat.
Resistors in Circuits
Resistors lower voltage across an active circuit;
the voltage on the positive end will be higher than
the voltage on the negative end.
The voltage across is a resistor is proportional to
the current flowing through it.
The symbol for resistors is a zigzagging line. It
resembles a type of resistor called the wire-
wrapped resistor, which is wire wrapped around a
ceramic core.

SUMMARY:
They are important to block electricity that could flow the wrong
direction.
