Domanda Risposta
What is static resistance?
inizia ad imparare
It is the resistance calculated using Ohm's law as the slope of the V-I curve from the origin to a working point.
What is dynamic resistance?
inizia ad imparare
It is the small-signal resistance calculated from the change in voltage over the change in current (ΔV/ΔI) at a specific point.
How does temperature affect a standard resistor?
inizia ad imparare
Resistance increases with temperature due to its positive thermal coefficient.
What is a varistor used for?
inizia ad imparare
To protect circuits from overvoltage by decreasing resistance sharply above a threshold.
What does a strain gauge measure?
inizia ad imparare
Mechanical strain, by detecting resistance changes when a conductor is stretched.
How does a thermistor respond to temperature?
inizia ad imparare
Its resistance changes with temperature: NTC decreases resistance, PTC increases it.
