This document discusses resistors and was created by Mohammad Yousif from the University of Lahore's Department of Mechanical Engineering. It defines a resistor as a passive two-terminal electrical component that implements electrical resistance. Resistors are used to limit current flow and adjust signal levels in electronic circuits. The concept of electrical resistance was discovered in 1827 by Georg Simon Ohm and is quantified by Ohm's Law, which relates resistance, voltage, and current.
