What is a Fixed resistor?

A fixed resistor is a type of resistor with a constant resistance value that does not change during use. It is widely used in electronic circuits and electrical devices to limit current, divide voltage, or manage signal processing. The resistance value of a fixed resistor is determined during manufacture, and they are available in a wide range of values, from a few ohms to several megaohms. Fixed resistors are known for their stable performance, maintaining their resistance over time. They are commonly used for current regulation, voltage drop, or signal conditioning in various applications.

Application of Fixed resistor

✅ Current regulation in circuits
Fixed resistors are used to control current flow in circuits. For example, they are used to prevent excessive current when connecting an LED.
✅ Voltage division
They are used in voltage divider circuits to split the voltage into specific levels using two resistors.
✅ Filter circuits
Fixed resistors are used in signal processing to pass or block certain frequency ranges of signals.
