Resistors
2
An electrical component that opposes the flow of electrons - - - - - - - - ?...! - - - - - - - -
3
Resistors reduce the electrical pressure Voltage is dropped Current remains the same Resistors reduce the electrical pressure Voltage is dropped Current remains the same --------- - - -- - - - - - - - -
4
So there is an energy change! Then what’s all this energy being converted into? --------- - - -- - - - - - - - - HEAT
5
Types of Resistors Fixed - resistor Variable -potentiometer Light sensitive -photoresistor Thermal- thermistor Fixed - resistor Variable -potentiometer Light sensitive -photoresistor Thermal- thermistor
6
The Resistor Code Decoding Resistor Values
7
Reading the Resistor 1st Digit 2nd Digit # of Zeros Tolerance Stripe 1st Digit 2nd Digit # of Zeros Tolerance Stripe Start at band closest to the end of the resistor
8
Tolerance Stripe The tolerance is the amount in percent that the resistor is allowed to be off from its stated value What is the value of this resistor? +/-20% -No Stripe +/-10% -Silver Stripe +/-5% - Gold Stripe +/-20% -No Stripe +/-10% -Silver Stripe +/-5% - Gold Stripe
9
Tolerance Band 44 44 77 77 00 = 4.7KΩ + / - 10% 10% What’s this thing?
10
`` Omega- a Greek symbol used to represent Ohms, the unit of measure for resistance! Ω
11
Reading the Resistor 0:______________ 1:______________ 2:______________ 3:______________ 4:______________ 5:______________ 6:______________ 7:______________ 8:______________ 9:______________ No Stripe:______________ Silver Stripe:____________ Gold Stripe:____________ RED VIOLET YELLOW SILVER
