1 Ohm Resistor (Pack of 10)
The 1 Ohm Resistor (Pack of 10) is a pack of 10 high-quality, axial-lead resistors with a resistance value of 1 ohm. These resistors are designed to reduce the voltage or current in an electric circuit and are commonly used in a wide range of applications, including IoT projects, electronic circuits, and prototype development.
The primary function of a 1 ohm resistor is to resist the flow of electrical current in a circuit. By introducing resistance into a circuit, the resistor helps to |
By dropping the voltage across the resistor, it prevents damage to other components in the circuit.
By restricting the current flow, it prevents overheating or damage to other components.
The resistor can be used to divide a voltage source into two or more parts, allowing for more efficient use of power.
The pack of 10 resistors is shipped in a sealed plastic bag or a cardboard box, depending on the supplier. The packaging is designed to protect the resistors from damage during shipping and storage.
The 1 Ohm Resistor (Pack of 10) is typically backed by a manufacturer's warranty, which covers defects in materials and workmanship for a specified period. Additionally, technical support is usually available from the supplier or manufacturer, providing assistance with circuit design, application, and troubleshooting.

Arduino Code:
```c++
const int sensorPin = A0; // select the input pin for the voltage divider
int sensorValue = 0; // variable to store the sensor value
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
sensorValue = analogRead(sensorPin);
float voltage = sensorValue (5.0 / 1023.0); // convert to voltage (assuming 5V Arduino)
Serial.print("Voltage: ");
Serial.println(voltage);
delay(1000);
}
```
Example 2: Current Limiting with an LED
In this example, we'll use the 1 Ohm Resistor to limit the current through an LED to prevent overheating.

5V Power Supply
Breadboard
Jumper wires
Circuit Diagram:
R1 (1 Ohm) limits the current through the LED, ensuring it operates within its rated specifications.
```

```
Note: Calculate the required current limiting resistor value based on the LED's specifications and desired brightness.
No additional code is required for this example, as it is a simple passive circuit.
These examples demonstrate the versatility of the 1 Ohm Resistor in IoT projects, ranging from voltage measurement to current limiting.
