Key Features
- Color-coded bands to indicate resistance value
- Various power ratings and tolerances
- Wide range of sizes and shapes available
- Used for current limiting, voltage division, and signal processing
Pros
- Helps control current flow in electronic circuits
- Relatively inexpensive and widely available
- Easy to replace if damaged
Cons
- Can overheat if not used within specified power ratings
- Limited ability to precisely control resistance value
