TYPES OF RESISTORS

What is Electronics?
means study of flow of electrons
in electrical circuits. The word
Electronics comes from electron
mechanics which means
learning the way how an
electron behaves under
different conditions of
externally applied fields.
is a branch of physics that
deals with the behavior
and controlled flow of
electrons.
Electronic circuit
 composed of individual electronic
components, such as resistors, transistors,
capacitors, inductors and diodes, connected
by conductive wires or traces through which
electric current can flow. The combination
of components and wires allows various
simple and complex operations to be
performed: signals can be amplified,
computations can be performed, and data
can be moved from one place to another.
Electricity
 is the set of physical phenomena associated
with the presence and flow of electric
charge. Electricity gives a wide variety of
well-known effects, such as lightning, static
electricity, electromagnetic induction and
electrical current. In addition, electricity
permits the creation and reception of
electromagnetic radiation such as radio
waves.
Electronic component
 is any basic discrete device or physical
entity in an electronic system used to
affect electrons or their associated
fields. Electronic components are
mostly industrial products, available in
a singular form and are not to be
confused with electrical elements.
Various Electronics components
RESISTORS
Most fundamental and
commonly used of all the
electronic components. The
principal job of a resistor within
an electrical or electronic circuit
is to "resist" or to impede the
flow of electrons.
Two Types of Resistors
FIXED TYPE RESISTORS
VARIABLE RESISTORS
 FIXED TYPE RESISTORS

Resistors have fixed resistance

values from less than one ohm, (
<1Ω ) to well over tens of millions
of ohms, ( >10MΩ ) in value. Fixed
resistors have only one single value
of resistance, for example 100Ω's.
Types of Fixed Resistors
CARBON COMPOSITION
RESISTORS
FILM or CERMET RESISTORS
WIRE WOUNDED RESISTOR
CARBON COMPOSITION RESISTORS
Made of carbon dust or
graphite paste.(low
wattage values)
FILM or CERMET RESISTORS
Made from conductive
metal oxide paste.(very
low wattage values)
WIRE-WOUND RESISTORS
Metallic bodies for
heat sink
mounting.(very high
wattage ratings)
VARIABLE RESISTORS
 Variable resistors or potentiometers are
used in many areas of electronics. They
are used for volume and gain controls
as well as a variety of other
applications. Preset variable resistors or
potentiometers are also used in circuits
that need a small adjustment to be
made to set the circuit up after
manufacture.
Types of Variable Resistors
ROTARY TYPE
SLIDE TYPE
ROTARY TYPE
 This version of potentiometer uses a rotary motion
to move the slider around a track that
compromises most of a circle, with contacts at
either end of the track in the area where part of the
circle is missing.
 Widely used with knobs on a spindle for the actual
control.
 Provide adjustments on test equipment through to
being used for volume controls on domestic radios.
SLIDER TYPE
 Slider controls are those variable resistors that
slide in a linear fashion, i.e. in a straight line.
These controls take up more front panel space.
 Widely used for audio mixers and lighting desks.
The advantage of sliders is that it is easier to
control them quite precisely and compare the
relative positions of a number of sliders. It is also
possible to control a number of sliders together.
Capacitor
A device that consists
essentially of two conducting
surfaces separated by a
dielectric material like air,
paper, mica, ceramic, glass, or
Mylar. It makes it possible to
store electric energy
 Electrons are detained within a
capacitor. This, in effect, is stored
electricity. The component is designed
intentionally to have a definite amount
of capacitance. This capacitance is a
property that exists whenever
insulating material permits the storage
of electricity. It is measured in Farad
(F) micro Farad (μF), nano Farad (nF),
and picoFarad (pF).
 Characteristics of Capacitor:
1. It can store electric charge
even though the voltage source
is already disconnected.
2.It can discharge electrical
voltages.
Fixed type capacitor
Electrolytic
Tantalum
Mica
Diode
a two-terminal electronic
component with asymmetric
transfer characteristic, with low
(ideally zero) resistance to current
flow in one direction, and high
(ideally infinite) resistance in the
other. It is a semiconductor device.
most common function of a diode
1. is to allow an electric current to
pass in one direction (called the
diode's forward direction), while
blocking current in the opposite
direction (the reverse direction).
2. It can be viewed as an electronic
version of a check valve.
3. A unidirectional behavior is
called rectification, and is
used to convert alternating
current to direct current, these
diodes are forms of rectifiers.
Transistor
A semiconductor
device used to amplify
and switch electronic
signals and electrical
power.
It is composed of
semiconductor
material with at least
three terminals for
connection to an
external circuit.
Integrated Circuit (IC)
An integrated circuit, or
IC, is small chip that can
function as an amplifier,
oscillator, timer,
microprocessor, or even
computer memory.
An IC is a small wafer,
usually made of silicon,
that can hold anywhere
from hundreds to millions
of transistors, resistors,
and capacitors.

1.what is the difference between
block diagram and schematic
diagram?
2.why is it important in electronics
servicing?
3.How to evaluate each diagram?
These extremely small
electronics can perform
calculations and store
data.
Review
Capacitor is an electronic
component used to charge and
discharge electric energy. Diode
is an electronic component used to
allow the current to pass in one
direction only.
Transistor is used mainly for
switching amplification purposes.
