Resistors Used in Electric Circuits: Types | Electrical Engineering

Depending on the material of the resistance element, resistors are classified into linear resistors and non-linear resistors. Majority of the resistors used in electronic circuits are linear resistors. Those resistors which follow ohms law and have a linear voltage current characteristic are called linear resistors. Those resistors which do not exhibit Ohm's law are known a non-linear resistor. Various types [...]
