Understanding Resistors in Circuits

This document contains a lesson plan for teaching students about resistors. It includes: 1) Objectives of understanding the meaning of resistance and how resistors oppose current flow. 2) Examples of common electrical gadgets like bulbs, fans, etc that require electricity to work. 3) An explanation that resistors oppose current flow like we oppose changes, and this opposition is called resistance. 4) Details on what resistors are, how they are used to limit current and provide voltage drops, and their symbol and relationship to voltage and current in circuits.

[Link] they require for working?

Electricity or Current.

2. What is Current?

Flow of electrons constitute Current.

EC105.1 5
[Link] do we do when somebody says
‘Sun rises in the West?’
We oppose it.

[Link] do we do when somebody tries to steal


something from us?
We oppose or Resist it.

[Link] do we generally react to a change in a system?


We oppose or Resist it.

EC105.1 6
RESISTORS
1. What is a Resistor?

A basic Electronic Component.

2. What it does?

It opposes the flow of current..

Resistance:

The property of Resistor to oppose the flow of current.

EC105.1 7
We use Resistors commonly

• To limit current in a circuit

• To get required voltage drop

• As a load element

EC105.1 8
Units of basic Electrical
Parameters

• Resistance is measured in Ohms


(Ω)

• Current is measured in Amperes


(A)

• Voltage is measured in Volts (V)

EC105.1 9
Resistor is represented by the
letter ‘R’

Symbol of Resistor

1 2

EC105.1 10
When a Voltage(V) is applied across a Resistor.

( R ), Current (I) flows through it

• Lower the value of Resistance, lower the


opposition, so

higher the current.

• Higher the Resistance, lower the current 0.

EC105.1 11
So Resistance is inversely proportional to
Current.

Mathematically

R α 1/ I or R= V / I

If V = 1 Volt, I = 1 Amp, then

R = 1 Volt / 1 Amp = 1 Ohm

EC105.1 12
Summa
ry
• Every material in the Nature offer opposition to the
flow of Current.

• This opposition is called Resistance.

• Higher the opposition, lower the current and vice-


versa .

• The unit of Resistance is Ohm (Ω).
