RESISTOR

for some resistor the value of can stay constant but in others it can change as the current changes

  • the current through a ohmic conductor ( at a constant temperature ) is directly proportional to the potential difference .

    resistance remains constant as the current changes

    RESISTANCE FOR COMPONENTS LIKE LAMPS , DIODES , THERMISTORES AND LDRS IN NOT CONSTANT . IT CHANGES WITH THE CURRENT THROUGH THE COMPONENT

  • the resistance of a filament lamp increases as the temperature of the filament lamp increases

the current through a diode flows in one direction only . the diode has a very high resistance in the reverse direction

  1. the resistance of thermistor decrease as the temperature increase

    applications of thermistors

    Temperature Measurement: Thermistors are commonly used to measure temperature in various electronic devices and systems.

    Thermostats are one of the most common applications of thermistors in circuits. A thermostat is a device that maintains a set temperature by controlling a heating or cooling system

  2. the resistance of an LDR increase when the light intensity increases

    Automatic Light Control: LDRs are widely used in automatic lighting systems, such as streetlights, outdoor security lights, and indoor lighting system
