Someone's normal heart rate depends on things like the person's age and whether he or she leads an active lifestyle. The resting heart rate decreases as people get older. Typical normal resting heart rate ranges are: babies (birth to 3 months of age): 100â150 beats per minute.
Part of the Electronics glossary: 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.
resistor-Computer Definition. An element within a circuit that is specifically designed to restrict the flow of electric current when a potential difference occurs across it. See also circuit and current. An electronic component that resists the flow of current in an electronic circuit. Resistors are often made out of chunks of carbon or thin films of carbon or other resistive materials. They can also be made of wires wound around a cylinder.
