A '''resistor''' is an electrical component used to provide [[electrical resistance]] in a [[circuit]] - that is, it impedes the flow of current. Resistors are usually made of carbon and marked with coloured bands which indicate the level of resistance they provide (measured in [[ohm]]s). Another kind of resistor is a [[potentiometer]], in which the resistance is adjustable.

Some resistors are larger than others. The larger ones can have more power flowing through them.
