This website offers a detailed explanation of how a resistor works. Diagrams of resistors are included as well as Ohms Law and formulae to calculate the resistance of resistors in series.

The Materials Science and Technology Teacher's Workshop (MAST) provides this activity as a vehicle to examine the I-V characteristics of a diode versus a resistor. The exercise will measure the voltage drop across both a...
