what do resistors do
waste energy
can dim lights etc
what are resistors
ohmic conductors
what is the current through a resistor directly proportional to
the potential difference
if current through a resistor is directly proportional to P.D what does this say about resistors
they are constant
in other components what is resistance like
not constant and changes with current
what is resistance like in a filament bulb
as current increases the resistance increases because temp is also increasing
what is resistance like in a diode
one direction has a very high resistance the other is low
