text: Another resistor (R3) limits the current through an LED.
text: In electronics equipments, resistors are included in circuit designs to "develop" voltage and to limit current.
text: The more resistance a thing has, the more it limits current (at the same voltage).
text: Similarly, if the temperature is increased, the resistance is increased as well, limiting the current passing through the device, thus cooling it down.
text: The resistor limits the current to a bare minimum so the panel doesn't think it's detecting a fire, but at the same time it allows the panel to confirm that current is flowing through all the wires.
text: Of course, to allow the panel's ohmmeter to check the continuity of the wires for the horns, we can't just twist the wires together at the end; we have to install a resistor there also: to limit the current so the wires aren't just shorted together.
text: A resistor limits the current in a circuit by increasing the resistance as the current increases above a certain value.
text: but you may need a resistor to limit the current into the base.
text: But the base of a transistor is quite vulnerable to high currents, so a resistor is incorporated here to limit the current and provide a safe biasing voltage.
text: The resistor is a safety feature to limit the current in the event the operator touches an energized conductor.
text: When the power isn't exceeded, it serves as a resistor limiting current.
