All about Electrical Resistors


Resistors

  • Bilateral, Passive, Linear Element
  • Resistors oppose the flow of current flowing through it.
  • Resistors obey Ohm's Law

    i.e. I ∝ v

  • Resistors dissipates energy in the form of Heat

    S = σ + jω Complex Frequency

    σ = Attenuation Constant

    ω = Angular friquency

    Power Loss in resistor (P)

    P = V &times I = I2 &times R = V2 ÷ R

  • Energy dissipated in Resistors as heat in Joules

    or Simply

    ER = I2 &times R &times t = ( V2&times t ÷ R ) = ( V &times I &times t )

  • Change in Resistance due to change in dimension

    l = length of conductor

    A = Cross Sectional Area of the conductor

    ρ = Resistivity of condutor materil

  • Change in Resistace due to change in temperature

    Let…

    Rt = Resistance of material at temperature t.

    R0 = Resistance of material at 0° temperature.

    αt = Temperature Coefficient of resistance at temperature t.

    Then…

    Rt = R0(1+α0t)

    R0 = Rt(1-αtt)

    Rt2 = Rt1{1+αt1(t2-t1)}

    αt = α0 / (1 + α0 t)

    αt2 = αt1 / {1 + αt1 (t2 - t1)}

    α0 = Slop of temperature vs Resistance plot curve / R0

    αt = Slop of temperature vs Resistance plot curve / Rt

    α0R0 = αtRt

    αt1Rt1 = αt2Rt2

Electronic Blind Stick

INTRODUCTION Electronic blind stick is a simple tool that can help a blind person to detect obstacles like walls, tables, stairs, any sleepy liquid on the floor etc without touching them through an alarm system. This reduces the chances of any accident. Also if this blind stick falls down on ground,  then an automatic alarm starts ringing  so that its owner can easily find it even if he can’t see it. This blind stick is made at very low cost with a very simple circuit. WORKING Its working is very simple. It has two main parts: Sensors Signal Amplifier & Buzzer Fig:1 Fig:1 shows the block diagram of the complete system. Stick position detector, Liquid dirt detector and IR proximity sensor all of these come under 1st part i.e. sensors. Signal amplifier circuit and Buzzer comes under 2nd part. Different sensors detect different types of obstacles and generate an electrical signal. Those signals then go...
