Can a sound wave travel through plastic paper/bag? How do light, sound, and radio waves travel in space if space is a void and there is not any matter for the aforementioned to travel through? How far can sound waves travel? Simply: Sound is propagated in a gas (air) and space has no air.
With resistors many think carbon comps are required for true mojo, especially as plate loads. Others discount the mojo factor completely and go with metal film as the most stable and quiet in operation. While others split the difference and use carbon film for some of the mojo with better stability and quieter operation.
A resistor is a passive two-terminal electrical component that implements electrical resistance as a circuit element. In electronic circuits, resistors are used to reduce current flow, adjust signal levels, to divide voltages, bias active elements, and terminate transmission lines, among other uses. High-power resistors that can dissipate many watts of electrical power as heat, may be used as part of motor controls, in power distribution systems, or as test loads for generators. Fixed resistors
