What is Resistor, Conductance? and Color coding of Resister

What is Resister?
Definition of Resister:
           
                 Resistor is an electronic device which opposes the flow of current. It reduces the magnitude of the total current passing through the resistor.If resistance increases , current(i) decreases Clearly to say both are inversely proportional to each other.Resistor is designated by the letter "R".
  • Units of resistance is "ohms".
Definition of Conductor:

                     Inverse of resistance is conductance. It is denoted by the letter "G".
  • Units of conductance is "mhos".
               Relation b/w Resister and Conductance -> R = 1/G
  • It is generally made of Nickel-Chromium alloys and the core is of fiber glass or ceramic.
  • A resistor can be identified by color coding present on it.
  • Each resistor contains 3 or 5 0r 7 strips on it.
Color Coding Of Resister:

"A resistor consists of colour bands on it.  A resistor's  value can be known by seeing its colour coding.A resistor consists of combination of colours .Generally 10 colours are used  to design a resistor.Each colour has some fixed value of resistance".
