In order to better understand how it works, it is helpful to think of current as water flowing through a hosepipe and a resistor as a restriction in the pipe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s likely that you already know Ohm&#8217;s law, V=IR. A resistor has a value of R if the voltage applied to it is less than I and the current through it is less than V. To deal with resistors, you need to understand this equation, which describes the relationship between current, voltage, and resistance (and other passive components).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Microscopic analysis reveals that resistors are constructed from a wide range of materials that are conductors, but imperfect ones, such that the atomic structure of the materials used hinders the flow of electrons. It is possible to fine-tune the resistance by manipulating the conductor&#8217;s properties, such as the conductivity, surface area, and lengths of the material utilized. Ohms are the standard unit for measuring resistance, and their symbol is \u03a9.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_26055\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-26055\" style=\"width: 499px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-26055\" src=\"https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Picture1-17.png\" alt=\"Guide to Resistor Values\" width=\"499\" height=\"504\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Picture1-17.png 499w, https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Picture1-17-297x300.png 297w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 499px) 100vw, 499px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-26055\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A Resistor (Reference: <strong>projectpoint.in<\/strong>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Do_Resistors_Do_in_a_Circuit\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Do Resistors Do in a Circuit?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a circuit, resistors serve several purposes. Most uses, which are listed below, call either a series or parallel arrangement of numerous resistors to accomplish their intended tasks. Resistors are used in a variety of contexts, but some of the most popular ones include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conflicts might arise. When many resistors are connected in series, the voltage across the junction is determined by the ratio of their individual values. Many circuits rely on this capability to produce intermediate voltages.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Resistors with a bias. Setting up the appropriate AC and DC operating characteristics and gain levels is essential for the proper operation of transistors and other devices. Multi-resistor biasing is the method used to achieve this.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Measures of op-amp gain and feedback. Gain and feedback in most op-amp systems are controlled by external resistors rather than the amplifier chip itself.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Impeding the flow of current. Resistors are a common component of electronic circuitry because of their ability to regulate current flow. In many circuits, such as when controlling the brightness of an LED by regulating the current flowing into it, this is an essential safety feature.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Equalizing impedance. The impedance of the transmit and receive ends of a circuit should be the same for maximum power transfer at high frequencies. There is a good chance that resistors can fulfill this need.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here we are, measuring at the moment. Since measuring voltage is significantly simpler than measuring current, it is standard practice to use a resistor in a circuit to &#8220;generate&#8221; a voltage (recall Ohm&#8217;s law) in order to determine how much current is going through the circuit.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A pullup resistor for the data and address bus. When used with high-speed computer buses, this feature aids in lowering noise levels. When a data bus tri-states or is driven high, a pull up is used to force the bus into a known state or to ensure that the bus&#8217;s output high is well beyond the switching point of other logic units on the bus.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Types_of_Resistors\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Types of Resistors<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a result of their versatility, resistors may be fabricated from a wide variety of materials, each of which has its own set of benefits and drawbacks. To begin, it&#8217;s important to think about the different configurations that are possible before diving into the materials.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Resistors with Constant Resistance<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As their name implies, this design of resistor has a constant resistance value and is by far the most common. While you can find a resistor in whatever ohmic value you need, the great majority of the time the value can simply be &#8220;tweaked&#8221; in the circuit. All manufacturers will, therefore, provide resistor families, where a fixed number of resistors are available for each decade of value.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The E24 family, for example, is rather prevalent. There are 24 possible outcomes, ranging from $100 to $1,000 or $10,000 to $100,000. We&#8217;ve selected these numbers for the range to cover a wide variety of scenarios, taking into mind the tolerances associated with each. With tolerances as low as 0.1%, the E192 series offers a wide range of values to meet your needs. The price of the resistors may rise as a result of this.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Changing Resistors<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The value of a variable resistor (potentiometer) can be adjusted by rotating a shaft or, in the case of pre-set pots, by twisting a screwdriver.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A three-terminal gadget is a variable resistor. Wipers are used to adjust the fixed resistance at the central pin shown with an arrow. These gadgets take the shape of a movable contact sliding down a resistive track or, in the case of multiturn devices employed as panel controllers, a tightly wrapped wire. Potentiometers (or &#8220;pots&#8221;) are important for fine-tuning resistance levels in a circuit, but they can cause issues if their specifications are off.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Circuits Made of Resistors<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Multiple resistors of the same value are frequently required, for instance in data bus pull up applications. Single inline (SIL) or dual inline (DIL) resistor packages are available for purchase for use in these situations. They can be sold in a package with all of the resistors disconnected from each other, or with only one pin from each resistor linked to a single contact. This approach may be more expensive on a per-resistor basis, but it can still be cost-effective because it requires just a single insertion during installation. As a result of this thought process, dual resistors are now sold in a single package for use as a divider.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_26056\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-26056\" style=\"width: 975px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-26056\" src=\"https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Picture2-17.png\" alt=\"Guide to Resistor Values\" width=\"975\" height=\"348\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Picture2-17.png 975w, https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Picture2-17-300x107.png 300w, https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Picture2-17-768x274.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 975px) 100vw, 975px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-26056\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Various types of Resistors (Reference: <strong>projectpoint.in<\/strong>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Resistive_Materials\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Resistive Materials<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having covered the fundamentals of resistor design and the different configurations, we will now examine the resistor materials and emphasize their salient features.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Carbon Film Resistors<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Due to its low tolerance and high noise characteristics, carbon film resistors are no longer commonly used in general purpose applications. Even yet, there are still niche uses for them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To make the resistor, a carbon layer is grown on a ceramic base. There are a number of benefits to doing this. There are three main benefits to this design: first, the film is mainly non-inductive; second, the ceramic is a superb insulator for heat and electricity; and third, the layout has a wide cross-section. Their huge cross-section allows for higher working voltages and more transient resistance than many other kinds, and their low inductance makes them ideal for high-frequency applications. Because of this, they are still freely accessible despite their decreased popularity.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Metal Film Resistors<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Making metal film resistors involves depositing a thin layer of metal, such as ruthenium, over an electrically insulating base. They come in a wide variety of shapes and packaging, and their design makes them more amenable to mass production and more compact than carbon film resistors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Due to its reduced noise, tighter tolerances, and typically superior temperature coefficients, metal film resistors have essentially supplanted carbon film resistors in most common applications. Even though they are commonly thought of as a &#8220;standard&#8221; resistor, they have progressed from a lower performance basis to the point where they are now available with relatively high accuracy (0.1%) and low TCRs in the single-digit PPM\/C range. In addition to through hole resistors, surface mount (chip resistor) versions of metal films are also available.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wirewound Resistors<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tolerances considerably better than 0.01% and very low-temperature coefficients (TCR) make wirewound resistors appealing in specialized applications like high precision instrumentation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They&#8217;re the go-to resistors when power output needs to be high (examples rated up to 100s of watts are available). Wire looped around an insulated core is an inductor, therefore these resistors are not ideal for high-frequency use and are not typically manufactured as surface mount components.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Metal Oxide Resistors<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In contrast to metal film resistors, the resistive element in these products is an oxide (often tin). Subtly different from metal film performance, they tend to fare better in high-voltage and high-power settings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But the ranges are often narrower, and the tolerances and TCRs may be lower. They come in both through-hole and surface-mount varieties.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Metal Strip Resistors<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These specialized resistors are typically implemented in power supply for the purpose of sensing current flow. As their ohmic values are often rather small, manufacturers make them with small temperature coefficients and moderate power dissipation so as to not significantly alter the performance of the circuit as a whole.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In essence, they are just a thin metal strip that has been cut to size using a laser. Since these devices may be transporting significant currents, they must also have a high thermal conductivity to allow for efficient heat dissipation.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Resistor_Value_Marking\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Resistor Value Marking<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The value of most resistors is clearly labeled. This is only one of numerous potential configurations for surface-mount resistors. They can be either three or four-digit codes employing a value and multiplier scheme to indicate the value. For instance, 102 would stand for 102 or 1k\u2126, but 1002 would be 100 \u00d7 102 or 10k\u2126 if it were a 4-digit number. One such example of a low-value expression is 4R7, which is 4.7\u2126. In this case, R serves as a decimal place.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even more so now that SMD resistors are available in tighter tolerances and a wider range of values, the tiny size of surface resistors makes them difficult to see. It is for this reason that the EIA96 standard is employed. As a result, the value may be specified with a minimal number of digits by using a lookup table in which a three-digit value points to a value and multiplier.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_26057\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-26057\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-26057\" src=\"https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Picture3-16.png\" alt=\"Guide to Resistor Values\" width=\"600\" height=\"590\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Picture3-16.png 600w, https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Picture3-16-300x295.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-26057\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Resistor color value (Reference: <strong>eepower.com<\/strong>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Resistor Color Code<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When dealing with through-hole resistors, the process is simplified slightly. There&#8217;s been a color system in existence for a long time, and it&#8217;s still in use now. The utilization of the system is depicted in this diagram. Each resistor&#8217;s value is represented by three or four bands, plus a tolerance band. The first two bands of a 4-band resistor contain numerical values, whereas the third band has a multiplier.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A resistor value of 22K\u2126 would be appropriate if, for instance, the first two bands were red and the third band was orange. The resistor&#8217;s tolerance would be 2% if the fourth band was red as well. Consider a 5-band resistor in which the first three colors are red, the fourth is brown, and the value is 2.22K\u2126.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQs_about_Guide_to_Resistor_Values\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FAQs about Guide to Resistor Values<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b><i>What does a 5% resistor mean?<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every resistor has a tolerance rating expressed as a percentage.
