10k Ohm Resistor - Pack of 10
Resistors are electronic components that have a specific, never-changing electrical resistance. The resistor's resistance limits the flow of electrons through a circuit.
They are passive components, meaning they only consume power (and can't generate it). Resistors are usually added to circuits where they complement active components like op-amps, microcontrollers, and other integrated circuits. Common resistors are used to limit current, divide voltages, and pull up I/O lines.
10K ohm Carbon Film Resistors are typical axial-lead resistors, which have much better temperature stability and provide lower noise, and are generally better for high frequency or radiofrequency applications.

1. What is a 10K resistor?
- Resistors are electronic components that have a constant electrical resistance. The resistance of a resistor restricts the flow of electrons through a circuit. It means the resistor has a resistance of 10,000 ohms.
2. What color is a 10K resistor?
- The first band is brown and represents 1. The second band is black, indicating a value of 0. The third band multiplier x 1 kΩ is orange. The fourth band is determined by the tolerance, so any color can be used for the tolerance band.
3. What does K stand for in resistor?
- A common value is 'K,' which stands for 1000 ohms. So, if a resistor has a value of 10000 ohms, it is also referred to as a 10K resistor. Resistors are connected in series and parallel. Resistors can be linked in two ways to produce different overall values.
4. What is a resistor?
- A resistor is a component of an electronic circuit that limits or regulates the flow of electrical current. Resistors can also be used to supply a fixed voltage to an active device such as a transistor.
