Answer:

add resistance to a circuit

Step-by-step explanation:

It depends on the design in which it is incorporated. A fixed resistor has many uses, including, but not limited to ...

  • dropping voltage
  • limiting current
  • contributing to a time delay
  • adjusting frequency response
  • eliminating (or creating) signal reflections
  • acting as a fuse
  • calibrating or trimming a response
  • providing protection against electrical shock or ESD
  • acting as a reference when measuring variable resistors
