Basic Electronics 06 – Fixed Resistors: wirewound, foil and semiconductor resistors
In the previous article, we discussed composition and film type fixed value resistors. Continuing the discussion on fixed resistors, now let us talk about wirewound, foil and semiconductor type fixed resistors. Wirewound Resistors Wirewound resistors are made by winding a resistive wire around a non-conducting core. The resistive wire is usually made up of an…
