1. DEFINITION
Resistor is a passive electronic component that that has a function to inhibit the flow of
electricity in electronic circuits. Resistor has resistive material. Resistance has a unit called Ohm
and has a symbol omega (). According to Ohm's law that resistance is inversely proportional to
the amount of current flowing through. In addition, the resistor also has other values such as
tolerance and capacity are able to pass through.
Based on Ohm Law
V=I*R
The law of Ohm claim that resistance inversely proportional with amount of current that pass in
the circuit.

2. TYPES OF RESISTOR
In general resistor can be classified into many types, then if we classify of resistor based
on the resistance value can be divided into 3 types:
1. Fixed Resistor
Fixed resistor has constant value of resistance, which all of that was assigned by EIA
(Electronic Industries Association). Fixed value resistor used for electronics circuit for
barrier current in a circuit. Fixed resistor can found in metal film resistor, carbon
resistor, and metal oxide resistor.
2. Variable Resistor
Variable resistor has value of resistance can be changed. There are many kind of
variable resistor but Potentiometer is the most used for variable resistor. Potentiometer
can changed the value of resistance with rotating the axis with screwdriver. Commonly,
variable resistor used for voltage divider that we can use for control volume amplifier,
tone control and many more.
