What Is Resistor Element?

A resistor is coated with paint or enamel, or covered in molded plastic to protect it. Because resistors are often too small to be written on, a standardized color-coding system is used to identify them. The first three colors represent ohm value, and a fourth indicates the tolerance, or how close by percentage the resistor is to its ohm value. This is important for two reasons: the nature of resistor construction is imprecise, and if used above its maximum current, the value of the resistor can alter or the unit itself can burn up.

Resistors can be integrated into hybrid and printed circuits, as well as integrated circuits. Size, and position of leads (or terminals) are relevant to equipment designers resistors must be physically large enough not to overheat when dissipating their power.

The primary characteristics of a resistor are the resistance, the tolerance and the power rating. Other characteristics include temperature coefficient, noise, and inductance.

A fixed resistor has a predetermined amount of resistance to current, while a variable resistor can be adjusted to give different levels of resistance. Variable resistors are also called potentiometers and are commonly used as volume controls on audio devices.

A rheostat is a variable resistor made specifically for use with high currents. There are also metal-oxide varistors, which change their resistance in response to a rise in voltage; thermistors, which either raise or lower resistance when temperature rises or drops; and light-sensitive resistors.

Resistors Unit

The ohm (symbol: Ω) is a SI-driven unit of electrical resistance, named after Georg Simon Ohm. Commonly used multiples and submultiples in electrical and electronic usage are the milliohm (1x10-3), kilohm (1x103), and megohm (1x106).

String Potentiometer $70.1 A string potentiometer is a transducer used to detect and measure linear position and velocity using a flexible cable and springloaded spool. Other common names include string pot, cableextension transducer, draw wire sensor, and yoyo sensor. String potentiometers are composed of four main parts: a measuring cable, spool, string, sewing machine, and rotational sensor. Inside the transducers housing, a stainless steel cable is wound on a precisely machined constant diameter cylindrical spool that turns as the measuring cable reels and unreels.To maintain cable tension, a torsion spring is coupled to the spool. The spool is coupled to the shaft of a rotational sensor (a potentiometer or encoder). As the transducers cable extends along with the movable object, it causes the spool and sensor shafts to rotate. The rotating shaft creates an electrical signal proportional to the cables linear extension or velocity. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Timpledon, Miriam T./ Marseken, Susan F.
