But it only matters that our understanding is consistent and we can make reliable predictions based on it that have “real” world benefits. That it isn’t exactly a perfect description of how these phenomena “actually” work is not and should not be our concern since it would bring us nothing in terms of the benefit we would get from that understanding.

[@899baki]

Someone tries to tell for us,that the resistance only depends on the length of the path through the resistor? This is partly true, but the resistance depends on the material of the resistor. 1 kilometer of copper wire has an electrical resistance equal to one meter of tungsten wire. According to them, 10 mega Ohm resistor should have 162 kilometers of copper wire? Carbon layer, Metal oxide, Varistor,Thermistor, NTC, PTC are based on the electrical conductivity of the material from which they are made. The resistance depends very little on the length of the path, or the shape of the resistor. It depends exclusively on the material of which it is made...Do you understand? One metal oxide resistor 0.25 Watt, is about 1cm long. If it has a resistance of 100 megaOhm, it should have a 200 kilometer long copper or aluminum wire in it? So, the resistance only depends on the material, not on the length of the electron path ..Simple example: Iron has 7 times greater electrical resistance than Copper.

It controls the flow of current in a circuit. The Amount of Resistance is based on the ohms of the resister

[@stormthrush37]

To quote a friend on electronics, "It quit working because you let out the magic smoke!"

[@eastafrika728]

Electrons don't collide with atoms, they transfer kinetic energy to other electrons, a behavior that looks like a collision, when a circuit is closed, causing a domino effect of kinetic transfer. The kinetic measure of electrons, called current, must balance with the potential energy in the battery as voltage or electron voltage and the resistance or magnetic capacity of the resistors, transistors, switches, modems and even wires. Flames of fire are made up of electrons, so if there is a build up of electrons in one area, when the voltage is higher than the resistance ability, a flame is created.

[@Chris_Sheridan]

The function of a resistor is to limit the current in various parts of a circuit - the purpose is not to protect components as a primary function, since fuses are specifically designed for that purpose. A resistor isn't there to protect a transistor, but to limit the current flowing through the base (b) which controls the larger current flowing through the (c) to (e) region - similarly a resistor value is chosen to limit the current flowing in an LED depending on the applied voltage, so that the brightness will be appropriate in an application and within the manufacturer's specification. Resistors are passive current control devices. Modern resistors are metal-film and generally smaller than the older carbon type resistor.

For carbon resistors, size the such that the operating wattage is less than 80% of its rating. Running carbon resistors hot causes them to degrade. As they age the resistance will slowly drop, which in turn increases the current and wattage, thus degrading the resistor faster.

You should also teach color coding of the resistors. Those coloured lines have a meaning and you should also include why some come with gold line and others with silver. There is a mathematical calculation behind resistance. That’s how we know which ones are used where and why.

Youre in luck, we have taught it, in detail. Full tutorial link bottom left.
