It is usually desirable that a resistor should obey Ohm's law and have a resistance that is fairly stable against temperature changes. Most resistors are painted with a code consisting of coloured bands which tell you the resistance.
A circuit component which offers resistance to the flow of electric current. Its electrical size is specified in ohms or megohms (1 megohm = 1,000,000 ohms). A resistor also has a powerhandling rating measured in watts, which indicates the amount of power which can safely be dissipated as heat by the resistor.

Any electronic component that restricts the flow of electrical current in circuits. These are often used intentionally to produce heat or light (e.g. a stove element or a light bulb filament).
An ideal resistor is a component with an electrical resistance that remains constant regardless of the applied voltage or current flowing through the device. While "real world" resistors cannot attain this perfect goal, they are designed to present little variation in electrical resistance when subjected to changing temperature and other environmental factors. Resistors may be fixed or variable. Variable resistors are also called potentiometers or rheostats and allow the resistance of the device to be altered by turning a shaft or sliding a control.

A device whose function is to put resistance into an electrical circuit.
This is a two terminal electronic component that resists an electrical current and turns the extra current into heat. Resistors are rated in ohms and can be used to regulate the voltage and current in a circuit. Basically, a resistor resists the flow of electricity. Resistors are used to lower voltages and currents so that components that require smaller voltage / current can function properly. If a power supply puts out 12 volts, and you have a chip that runs on three, you need a resistor to cut down the voltage.

A basic component in electronic circuits that resists the flow of electrical current. Resistance is denominated in Ohms. Higher resistance results in less current.
