A resistor is one of the most common components in electronics.
It is used in almost every device: from LEDs and power supplies to microcontrollers and transistor circuits.
In this lesson, we will learn what a resistor is, why it is needed, what resistance means, and why modern electronics would be impossible without resistors.

André-Marie Ampère was one of the first scientists to reveal the connection between electricity and magnetism. His experiments showed that an electric current creates a magnetic field and can interact with other currents. Today, the unit used to measure electric current — the ampere — bears his name.

Why does a light bulb turn on almost instantly when you flip a switch?
What actually happens inside the wires when electric current flows?
In this article, we explain what physicists mean by electric current, how random electron motion differs from an organized flow of charges, and why this movement allows energy to travel through wires. You will also learn what happens inside a conductor, how current is measured, and why electrical wires can heat up.
