Chapter 5: Resistors What is a resistor? Definition: A device used in electrical circuits to maintain a constant relation between current flow and voltage. Resistors are used to step up or lower the voltage at different points in a circuit Resistors work as they turn voltage energy into heat 2 Functions: To limit current To produce desired voltage Analogy Resistors Resistor’s Schematic Symbol Composed of a zigzag line What is the value of the resistor on the right? Reference Designators 300 Ω 30kΩ Surface Mount vs. Through Hole Surface Mount Through Hole Types of Fixed Resistors Carbon Compostion Old-skool Metal Film High accuracy Metal-Oxide Film Low noise and good thermal properties High accuracy at high resistance Resistor Networks Many packaged resistors Wirewound Resistors High power applications Surface Mount Technology Surface Mount Resistors (SMT) Resistor Properties Value in Ohms Accuracy Power rating (We’ll look at this one first) What is Resistor Power Rating? Examples: ¼ watt, ½ Watt, 20 watts P = V*I = V2/R Heat Sinks Determining Value and Accuracy Tolerance Color Code: Brown = 1% Red = 2% Gold = 5% Silver = 10% Video See lecture notes first http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvQBhX o_tF0 More in class practice problems Blue Blue Blue Gold 66 MΩ +/- 3.3 MΩ Brown Black Red Silver 1000 Ω +/- 100 Ω Brown Black Orange Silver 10000 Ω +/- 1000 Ω Orange Violet Black Gold 37 Ω +/- 1.85 Ω Find tolerance range as well … or you can just measure it with an Ohmmeter!

(Think parallel) •(Also think of a fire hose. There is always pressure drops across a pipe, but less pressure drop for bigger hoses.) •Resistance is given by the following equation •Therefore as a wire gets longer, the resistance change gets linearly larger. “The larger the cross-sectional area of the conductor, the more electrons are available to carry the current, so the lower the resistance. The longer the conductor, the more scattering events occur in each electron's path through the material, so the higher the resistance. Different materials also affect the resistance.” Random Video of the Day Pinkey.wmv
