Electronics for beginners
Electronics is one of the most powerful and enjoyable hobbies around. There is little you can't do or improve with a electrical circuit and a few chips. This guide will hopefully help you learn the basics of electronics, from basic static electricity to complex digital electronics. It is designed to be for beginners, so start at the first page and go through them one by one. While we have put a bit of effort in to making all our information as accurate and safe as possible, electricity is dangerous you play with it at your own risk so you should exercise caution and know what you are doing.

It depends how it's wired into the circuit. If it's in series (with other resistors or a load, like a light or motor) it drops the Voltage. If it's wired in parallel, it drops the Current (beacuse some current flows through the resistor, some through the parallel load).
HTH.
i like resistors, they are cool like mr franklin whos actually a gayboy
What do the different colours of resistor the mean? (ie. blue resistor vs brown vs green)
Hey Kevin, I am an OLD, really OLD Ex-plumber and a newbee to electronics so my way is probly wrong but I am trying how to reduce produced voltage also but from a HV stand point, "trying tostand on the edge death and not fall I quess" I really like tjis stuff!!
Any way I found that if you go to semiconductor MFG's and download there PDF's on there parts they give you application schems on some of them,
Go to fairchild or Texas Instruments and look up the 78XX series or the LM 317 regulators To small for what I am attempting but if anyone out there can help me I would probily live longer Thanks Ed
explain the work of resistor.

Researchers Print Dense Lattice Of Transparent Nanotube Transistors On Flexible Base
It's a clear, colorless disk about 5 inches in diameter that bends and twists like a playing card, with a lattice of more than 20,000 nanotube transistors capable of high-performance electronics printed upon it using a potentially inexpensive low-temperature process.
Nanowires Can Now Be Controlled Down To Single Atom Level
Nanoscience researchers have shown that they can control the growth and crystal structure of nanowires down to the single atom level.
Non-toxic Clean-up Method For Potentially Toxic Nano Materials Created Using Horseradish Enzyme
Scientists have developed the first natural, nontoxic method for biodegrading carbon nanotubes, a finding that could help diminish the environmental and health concerns that mar the otherwise bright prospects of the super-strong materials commonly used in products, from electronics to plastics.
Engineers Developing Energy-harvesting Radios
Engineers are helping a semiconductor manufacturer implement its idea of an energy-harvesting radio. It could transmit important data -- like stress measurements on a bridge, for instance -- without needing a change of batteries, ever.
Method Sorts Out Double-walled Carbon Nanotube Problem
It's hard to study something with any rigor if the subject can't be produced uniformly and efficiently. Researchers who study double-walled carbon nanotubes find themselves in just this predicament. The problem is that current techniques for synthesizing double-walled carbon nanotubes also produce unwanted single- and multi-walled nanotubes. Researchers now offer a clever solution: They used a technique called density gradient ultracentrifugation to cleanly and easily separate the double-walled nanotubes from the undesirables.
