1. Fixed resistor ; A resistor is used to reduce the flow of electricity in an electric circuit. Resistors come in fixed or variable types. A fixed resistor cannot be changed as it is set at a specific value, whereas a variable resistor can manage flows at and below a specific level.
2. Variable Resistor ;
An electronic component that is used to vary the amount of current that flows through a circuit. It works by sliding a wiper terminal across a resistive material, typically a thin film or chunk of carbon or a resistive wire made of nickel chromium or tungsten alloys.
3. Thermistor ;
Converts heat to electrical resistance.
4. Light dependant resistor ;
Converts light to electrical resistance.
