Resistors & Ohm's Law in Practice
Pick a resistor so parts don't burn out.
What a Resistor Does
A resistor limits how much current flows through a wire. It is the part that stops sensitive components from drawing too much and burning out. 🔥
Measured in Ohms
Resistance is measured in ohms, shown by the symbol Greek omega. More ohms means more push-back, so less current gets through.
