I started learning electronics a few days ago and I’m seeing resistors in every diagram I find and using them in pretty much all my experiments. So far, I’ve been using them blindly, but in this article I’m going to try to get a better understanding of what they actually do. Electrical Resistance A resistor is a component that implements electrical resistance. Electrical resistance is usually explained using a water and pipes analogy. Let’s start by imagining two containers; One full of water an...
