Both a resistor and an inductor are electrical components designed to impede the unregulated flow of electricity. Where they differ is that inductors store energy in their induction coils which forms a magnetic field that focuses energy by the principle of inductance. As electricity passes into the inductor, current will slowly rise to a specified level. A resistor simply impedes the flow of electricity according to its property, but does not store energy. It also does not control the rate at which the current changes, it just changes the current allowed to pass through.

When an inductor and resistor are connected in parallel by how many degrees is the current flow through the resistor out of phase with the current flow through the inductor?
When a resistor and an inductor are both connected to an AC supply, the current in the resistor is in phase with the voltage, while the current in the inductor is a quarter-cycle (90 degrees) behind. Supposing they both draw 1 amp on a 12-volt AC supply. The resistor will dissipate 12 watts, while the inductor will dissipate no power. Any power that enters the inductor comes back to the generator in a later part of the cycle. But the current drawn from the supply is 1.414 amps, so this would be a load with a power factor of 0.707.
What component limits current in a circuit?
A resistor or an inductor. The inductor limits transient current, not steady state current.
Can a transistor can act like resistor capacitor inductor?
A transistor acts like a resistor when Gate is connected to Source.
What is the relationship of current through the resistor and inductor in the LR parallel circuit?
When they are in parallel the same voltage appear across both. The resistor carries a current of V/R, the inductor carries a current of V/(jwL). So the current in the inductor is 90 degrees behind in its phase.
What is the difference between resistance and insulation?
Resistor is a current a insulator is a not conductive and conductors can conduct.
