Resistor

Term · Computing and IT · MLC-T-CMP-001018

An electrical component that limits or regulates the flow of electrical current in an electronic circuit. It introduces electrical resistance, causing a voltage drop across its terminals in proportion to the current flowing through it. Resistors are passive components, meaning they do not require an external power source to operate.
