What resistive device is generally used to control relatively large values of current in low-resistance circuits for ac power applications?

Resistors with higher resistance values usually have ______________ wattage ratings.

The way resistance varies with shaft rotation in a variable resistor is called the

If a resistor is color-coded red, blue, and orange, what is its resistance value?

The most common trouble in resistors is

When not used, resistors generally keep their characteristics

The two main characteristics of a resistor are its resistance in ohms and its tolerance in mhos.

A thermistor is a thermally sensitive resistor whose resistance value changes with changes in operating temperature.

When checking resistance in a circuit, it is important to be sure there are no parallel resistance paths.

A decade resistance box is typically used as a potentiometer.

The main function of a resistor is to limit the amount of current or produce a desired drop in voltage.

A rheostat has two terminals and a potentiometer has three terminals.

Aging, which is normal resistor heating over a long period of time causes the resistor to exceed its

What may cause a much lower resistance value to be displayed on an ohmmeter when checking resistance in a circuit?

A ______________ resistor is a wire-wound resistor made to burn open easily when the power rating is exceeded.

The power rating is a property of a resistor that depends on the resistor's
