In this video, we break down resistors from the ground up. You'll learn how resistance works, how resistors protect components like LEDs, the main types of resistors, Ohm's Law, resistor color codes, SMD resistor codes, voltage dividers, current dividers, and potentiometers. We’ll also use a simple water pipe analogy to understand the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance — then put Ohm’s Law into practice with a real LED resistor calculation. By the end, you'll have a clear understanding of what resistors do, how to read them, and how they're used in real electronic circuits.
