Wire wound resistor windings Since the wound wire is basically a coil, they have sufficient inductance and capacitance to have poor properties at high frequencies. To reduce or eliminate this ...

Measuring resistance doesn’t seem to be a big deal. Put your meter leads across two wires or terminals and read the value, right? Most of the time that is good enough, but sometimes you need ...

It works by sliding a wiper terminal across a resistive material, typically a thin film or chunk of carbon or a resistive wire made of nickel ... more power. See resistor. THIS DEFINITION IS ...

Moving the position of the slider on this resistor, changes the length of wire in the circuit which changes the resistance. A variable resistor is used in some dimmer switches and volume controls.
