1 RESISTORS A resistor is used to reduce the flow of electricity in an electric circuit. Resistorscome in fixed or variable types.

2 A fixed resistor cannot be changed as it is set at a specific value
FIXED RESISTORS

3 Variable resistors also known as rheostats can have their resistance changed by moving a slider.

4 •. Thermistors are resistors whose resistance changes with temperature
• Thermistors are resistors whose resistance changes with temperature. The higher the temperature, the lower the resistance. THERMISTOR

5 LIGHT DEPENDANT RESISTOR LDR
An LDR is a component that has a (variable) resistance that changes with the light intensity that falls upon it. LIGHT DEPENDANT RESISTOR LDR

6 A diode is an electrical device allowing current to move through it in one direction with far greater ease than in the other. DIODE

7 LIGHT EMITTING DIODE LED
A light-emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor device that emits visible light when an electric current passes through it. LIGHT EMITTING DIODE LED
