           Resistors 

    Resistor is a metal element that is used in the Enginering and Technolgy industry. it’s used to prevent high amount of current (electricity) from flowing in a circuit or a specific engine of a circuit to function electronics and other electrical devices. resistors come in different sizes; it’s measured in Ohms which is labeled on the device. each resistor is to give a amount of effort to block a high amount of current flowing in a circuit for example a cellphone charger doesn’t have no more that 12 volts to charge a battery but if you open the charging head, you’ll see that there is about one or two little resistor’s that are measured to the amount of 5 to 10 ohms to help maintain the 12 volts of a charger to flow normally. there are different kind of resistors, but they all play the same roll in a device, the only difference that is in resistors is the amount of capability it could take to reduce current from flowing so heavy in a circuit. resistors were known during the 20th century where it’s made with carbon and metal with a little short wire rounded around a thick wire, there are different types of resistors, and it could be understood by colors that are painted around the resistors. the colors are codes to know what circuit it is suitable to be installed to function properly. An electrical circuit or a Tecnology component can possibly be able to function without a resistor, but there will be heavy current flowing around the circuit that could cause it to burn out and could cause damages.
