Resistance is the challenge to the flow of electric current in an electric circuit.

Simply put, resistance is like a traffic jam in an electrical circuit.

The more resistors there are, the harder the electric current is flowing Tasks of the resistor Current Limiting: Resistors ensure that the current in the circuit remains at a certain value.

In this way, damage to sensitive components is prevented.

Voltage Splitting: It is used to reduce the voltage of a voltage source to the desired value.

Heating: Some resistors are used to convert electrical energy into heat energy (e.g. resistances in water heaters).

Signal Processing: It is used in signal shaping and filtering processes in electronic circuits.
