All About Resistor

Everything you need to know about resistor:

What is resistor?

Some simple explanation about resistor, types of resistors and the unit of resistance. This is one of the most basic passive component and yet have high failure rate. It is important to know some of its characteristic so that when resistor have problems you will know how to test it. I've also included some resistor photo for you to see.

Testing resistor

There are two ways to test a resistor. You can either test it with an analog or a digital multimeter. I do not encourage you to check a resistor with analog meter because it is not accurate compares using the digital meter. In this article, i've also explained how you can check a resistor on board (in circuit) with the help of digital meter and why analog meter just can't check it.

Five band resistor color code tips

Ever wonder why certain circuit in electronic equipment used five color band resistor? You may also need to find out on how to calculate the five colour band resistors successfully. I've also explained there was a special resistor color band that relates to military purposes. Read the full article now!

Understanding current sense resistor in electronic circuit

As a electronic repairer, we do came across lots of type of equipment and circuit designed on our repair bench. To repair any equipment fast, we must know ho certain circuit function. In this article, i'm going to explain to you what is the effect like if the currrent sense resistor giving problem in electronic circuit.
