Resistance is the property of a conductor which oppose the flow of current . There are many types of resistor described below Wire wound resistor :- Wire wound resistors are manufactured by using resistance wire ( nicrome ) wrapped around the insulating core , such as ceramic, porcelain , bakelite pressed paper. - it is used for high current application. - wattage range from 1 to 100 watt or more . - the resistance can be less then 1 ohm & go up to few thousand ohm . Carbon composition resistor :- These are made of fine carbon or graphite mixed with power insulating material as a binder in the proportion needed for the desired resistance value , - carbon resistor are available in value of 1 ohm to 22 mega ohm . - power rating 0.1 to 2 watt. Metal film resistor :- The film resistor are processed by depositing a metal vapour on a ceramic base . - 1 ohm to 10 Mega ohm - upto 1 watt power rating - metal film resistor can work fro...
