Resistors
Passive components[edit]
Components incapable of controlling current by means of another electrical signal are called passive devices. Resistors, capacitors, inductors, and transformers are all considered passive devices.
Resistors[edit]
Pass current in proportion to voltage (Ohm's law) and oppose current.
- Resistor – fixed value
- Variable resistor
- Rheostat – two-terminal variable resistor (often for high power)
- Potentiometer – three-terminal variable resistor (variable voltage divider)
- Trim pot – small potentiometer, usually for internal adjustments
- Thermistor – thermally sensitive resistor whose prime function is to exhibit a large, predictable and precise change in electrical resistance when subjected to a corresponding change in body temperature.[5]
- Humistor – humidity-varied resistor
- Photoresistor
- Memristor
- Varistor, Voltage-dependent resistor, MOV – Passes current when excessive voltage is present
- Resistance wire, Nichrome wire – wire of high-resistance material, often used as a heating element
- Heater – heating element
