Publisher's Synopsis
From the series describing basic electronics, this book concentrates on the different types of resistors, the resistor colour code, the use of resistors in voltage dividers, Ohm's law, series and parallel connections of resistors and electrical energy and power. It introduces the basic properties of three widely used special types of resistor, the light-dependent resistor, the thermistor and the strain gauge. Capacitors are also looked at and experiments, questions and answers are included at the end.
