Resistor Theory and Technology hands engineers, scientists, technicians, and business people in the electronics industries a much-needed roadmap to understanding resistor design, fabrication, and use. The authors give an overview of resistor theory and technology, showing how it arises from scientific theories of resistive properties of materials. They explain selection and use of virtually every discrete resistor type.
