Description:
Knowledge about resistors and resistance are relevant for two major reasons:
• Very few electronic circuits do not have resistors, e.g. to reduce current for components which otherwise may be destroyed;
• Resistance – referring to the property of substances and electrical devices to oppose the passage of current – is an important scientific concept for understanding electricity and electronics.
One item deals with „Technical application and vocational orientation“.
