All About Resistors

What is a resistor used for?

• A resistor is used to limit or control electrical current in a circuit.

• To convert electrical energy into heat.

• To increase electrical current in a circuit.

• To store electrical energy for later use.

Can you name a color that a resistor might be?

• Green

• Blue

• Yellow

• Red

What happens if you connect a resistor to a battery?

• Current flows through the resistor, and the resistor limits the current based on its resistance.

• No current will flow through the resistor at all.

• The battery will explode due to the resistor.

• The resistor absorbs all the energy from the battery.

Is a resistor a type of electrical part?

• Resistors are only used in digital circuits.

• A resistor is a type of mechanical part.

• Yes, a resistor is a type of electrical part.

• No, a resistor is not an electrical part.

Do resistors help control electricity?

• Resistors have no effect on electricity.

• Yes, resistors help control electricity.

• Resistors are used to store electricity.

• Resistors increase the flow of electricity.

Can you find a resistor in a toy?

• All toys are made without electronic components.

• No, toys do not contain resistors.

• Yes, a resistor can be found in a toy.

• Resistors are only found in computers.

What shape does a resistor usually have?

• Rectangular

• Triangular

• Cylindrical

• Square

Are resistors always the same size?

• Resistors are only available in one standard size.

• All resistors are the same size.

• No, resistors are not always the same size.

• Resistors vary only in color, not size.

What do you think happens if a resistor is too small?

• A small resistor can cause excessive current flow, leading to overheating and circuit damage.

• A small resistor will automatically adjust to the circuit's needs.

• A small resistor will improve circuit efficiency.

• A small resistor has no effect on current flow.

Can you draw a simple resistor?

• A circle with a dot in the center.

• A rectangle with two lines on each side.

• A square with a zigzag line inside.

• A triangle with lines on each corner.
