Usage Examples
Converse of object
- solder: There are also some resistors soldered in mid-air rather than via the PCB.
- connect: The more sensitive the eye is to a color, the lower resistor connected to it.
- brake: One factor driving sales in recent years has been the demand for braking resistors.
- mount: A convenient point to mount this resistor is inside the 7-pin DIN plug or jack plug of the cassette lead.
- limit: I probably should add a current limiting resistor to the circuit.
- replace: I noted that somebody had replaced a resistor in one corner of the board with a pair of series 15k resistors.
Preposition: in
- parallel: This is done with a resistor in parallel to the input of 1.8k.
- circuit: Start with the variable resistors in the meter drive circuits at a mid way position.
- series: The carbon pile regulator is basically a resistor in series with the generator field coil.
Adjective modifier
- pull-down: They are terminated on BOC, but have no pull-down resistors.
- variable: A variable resistor very flowed in a manual box.
- dependent: Maybe we could do something along this line with a light dependent resistor to receive the light beam.
- fixed: One of the pots does indeed replace one of the fixed resistors whilst the other is connected the the extra PCB.
Modifies a noun
- R: In a similar fashion the load resistor R can also be placed across the switch.
Noun used with modifier
- ohm: The voltage on the left hand 10 ohm resistor is flowing out of the top terminal of the resistor.
- pull-up: Actually pin 8 is the processor reset line and has an on-board pull-up resistor.
- watt: If you use larger 1/4 watt resistors, you may need to space the transistors off the PCB slightly.
- cathode: If the IF amplifier valve has a cathode bias resistor, check it's on value.
- emitter: To find the dc collector current, measure the dc voltage across the emitter resistor and use ohm's law.
- shunt: The shunt resistor is always an unusual low value, and needs to be hand-made from resistance wire.
