Variable resistors
When resistance is decreased current will flow through will when it is manually increased, it will restrict the flow of charge
Resistance (ohms)
Something that restricts the flow of charge
High resistance converts electrical energy into heat energy
Thermistor
When heated, resistance decreases
At room temperature, resistance is large
Light dependant resistors
When light intensity is increased, resistance decreases
When light intensity is decrease, resistance increases
Diodes
Current can only flow in one direction
High resistance one way low the other way
