2. Chapter 5: Resistors

3. What is a resistor? Definition: A device used in electrical circuits to maintain a constant relation between current flow and voltage. Resistors are used to lower the voltage at different points in a circuit Resistors work as they turn voltage energy into heat 2 Functions:  To limit current  To produce desired voltage Analogy

22. “The larger the cross-sectional area of the conductor, the more electrons are available to carry the current, so the lower the resistance. The longer the conductor, the more scattering events occur in each electron's path through the material, so the higher the resistance. Different materials also affect the resistance.” Resistance of a Wire The longer a wire is, the more resistive it is. The thicker a wire is, the less resistive it is. (Think parallel) (Also think of a fire hose. There is always pressure drops across a pipe, but less pressure drop for bigger hoses.) Resistance is given by the following equation Therefore as a wire gets longer, the resistance change gets linearly larger.
