• n  an electrical device that resists the flow of electrical current

• Various electrical devices (conducting paints, tape resistors, paper-thin capacitors, etc.
• Because the resistors and capacitors created in silicon integrated circuits are still not of high enough quality, the ICs are often combined in hybrid devices with tiny resistors .
• As they are carried automatically down an assembly line, machines stamp out holes for tubes and condensers, attach wire jumpers and resistors to the boards, and trim wire leads .
