carbon resistor - Resistor of fixed value made by mixing carbon granules with a binder which is moulded and then baked.
carbon-film resistor - Device made by depositing a thin carbon film on a ceramic form.
current-limiting resistor - Resistor in the path of current flow to control the amount of current drawn by a device.
dropping resistor - Resistor whose value has been chosen to drop or develop a given voltage.
metal film resistor - A resistor in which a film of metal oxide or alloy is deposited on an insulating substrate.

Resistors
Resistors Resistors limit or reduce the current passed across them. They do this by by having different densities of different materials within them, the most common of which is carbon. Make

Colour Codes
Resistor Colour Codes First lets look at the different colours found on resistors and what values they represent. Resistors have either 4 or 5 bands of colour on them. The first two (or thre

Types
Resistor Types Metal Film - Work from a thin film of metal or particles of metal are used to achieve different resistances. Carbon Film - A thin film of carbon is laid upon a rod of cer

Diodes
Diodes Diodes are one of the most common semiconductor devices. As we know from the last page, both N and P type silicon conduct electricity. The conductivity (or resistance) of both is by how doped

Drawing Circuits
Drawing Circuits When designing circuits it is not practical to draw physical likenesses of the components you wish to use. In place of each component a symbol is use to represent it. For example:
