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 an electrical component that limits or regulates the flow of electrical current in an electronic circuit. Resistors can also be used to provide a specific voltage for an active device such as a transistor. All other factors being equal, in a direct-current (DC) circuit, the current through a resistor is inversely proportional to its resistance, and directly proportional to the voltage across it. This is the well-known Ohm's Law.
