There is another quantity that is similar to resistance. It is called “reactance.” Like resistance, we measure reactance in ohms, and it follows the rule of Ohms Law. Reactance only occurs in electrical or electronic circuits if the current flow is...

In wirewound resistors, another selection factor is the temperature characteristic of the wire. The resistance of all materials changes as their temperature changes. If the temperature is lowered, resistance (typically) declines. In fact, if cooled sufficiently, the...

All materials are either conductors or insulators; a material will either conduct electrical current, or impede its flow. Not all conductors are equally capable of supporting current flow. Copper is a better conductor than nickel. Silver is a better conductor than...

Riedon’s precision resistors are designed for critical applications that require very accurate and stable resistance values. Precision resistors are normally specified when the wattage requirements are relatively low, and when high accuracy and stability are...
