Meanings
- One who resists, especially a person who fights against an occupying army.
-
An electric component that transmits current in direct proportion to the voltage across it.
The resistor limits the current and prevents damage to the LED. […] It is possible to pick resistors and capacitors that will make the pitch higher than humans can hear.
