A resistor is an electrical device that limits current in a circuit. It converts electrical energy into thermal energy (heat), and drops voltage. Conductors in an electrical circuit allow current to flow through them will little resistance. The medium in a resistor, the resistive material, is not a good conductor, and will "resist" the current that wants to flow through it. This is how it limits current in a circuit. A resistor is rated according to its resistance and it ability to dissipate heat. It will be rated in ohms of resistance and in watts. A one ohm resistor will allow one amp of current to flow through it when one volt is applied across it. It will generate one watt of thermal energy, which it will have to dissipate as heat.
A resistor is an electrical component that limits or regulates the flow of electrical current in an electronic circuit. Resistors can also be used to provide a specific voltage for an active device such as a transistor.
most of the resistors commonly used are carbon resistors
Carbon composition resistors are resistors that are made with carbon or graphite mixed with a binding material. It's one type of resistors among several. There are also carbon-film resistors and metal-film resistors. Out of all the resistors, carbon-film resistors have the greatest tolerances and changes to temperature fluctations. Thus, they are used in applications where precision isn't critical and where temperature will not change drastically.
The total resistance of resistors in series is simply the sum of the resistance values of those resistors. If the resistors are identical, then you can multiply the resistance of one of them by the number of resistors in the circuit.
Otis f.boykin invented resistors
Film resistors have lower noise than carbon resistors.
Resistors are wired in series when they are connected in a line. The current flows through the resistors one after the other.
Both resistors will have the voltage of the battery.

Linear resistors
Resistors are like funnels, they restrict the flow of current.
resistors are used to resist the flow of current in a circuit.......
Resistors are a material that resists the flow of electrons. The resistors are materials that resist electric current energy to be changed into other forms.
