RESISTOR

Ohmic Conductor

A conductor that maintains a constant resistance, where the current passing through is directly proportional to the potential difference applied, at a constant temperature.

Filament Lamp

A type of lamp where the resistance increases as the temperature of the filament increases.

Diode

A semiconductor device that allows current to flow in one direction only, with very high resistance in the reverse direction.

Thermistor

A type of resistor whose resistance decreases as the temperature increases.

Thermistor Applications

Various applications of thermistors include Temperature Measurement and Thermostats for temperature control in electronic devices and systems.

LDR (Light Dependent Resistor)

A resistor whose resistance increases as the light intensity decreases.

LDR Applications

LDRs are commonly used in Automatic Light Control systems like streetlights, security lights, and indoor lighting for light intensity detection.
