" Then he'd swap out a cap or a resistor, and everything would start working.

DDR3 chips let you command them to connect or disconnect their termination resistors.

All the resistors that tested to very close tolerance had been bagged separately, and sold at a higher price.

Does pulsed versus continuous power make a difference?- What kind of resistor is it?

We have a heater resistor at the bottom of a small can of this and the top of the pellets a few cm away is cool enough to touch.

Then I made a resistor ladder DtoA convertor and pushed data out the parallel printer port for audio.

Unfortunately it's impossible to tell it apart from a normal resistor just by looking.

Just as with an electrical resistor, the flow of water through the pipe is faster if the pipe is shorter and/or it has a larger diameter.

If it's a wirewound resistor, or one that was constructed by cutting a spiral groove into a film or substrate, what effect might that have at high frequencies?

Say I handed you a metal film resistor -- when would you want to use it instead of a carbon composition resistor?- What does the resistor look like at RF?

Some of the things the candidate might bring up:- Can they tell me the value and tolerance of the resistor by reading its color code?- Based on the physical size/package, what's the resistor's power rating?

He actually describes it in the thread, a little farther down:"No, no schematic, what I did was look for resistors that looked like they had an alternative position, have a look at the photos and you will see what I mean.

You also have to heat the resistor in your kettle or electric stove, the thermally conducting, electrically insulating housing for the resistor, the kettle itself, and the surrounding air.

People who tell you how easy this **** is are invariably people who already have a drawer full of every resistor, capacitor and relay known to man, instead of having to spend days waiting for the turnaround on ordering the components they need.

Cheap meters can't be calibrated at all by calibration services as there is nothing other than a single master voltage reference inside which is usually not a constant current or voltage source but a resistor/voltage divider across the reference voltage.
