10k Ohm Resistor - Pack of 10

Resistors are electronic components that have a specific, never-changing electrical resistance. The resistor's resistance limits the flow of electrons through a circuit.

They are passive components, meaning they only consume power (and can't generate it). Resistors are usually added to circuits where they complement active components like op-amps, microcontrollers, and other integrated circuits. Common resistors are used to limit current, divide voltages, and pull up I/O lines.

10K ohm Carbon Film Resistors are typical axial-lead resistors, which have much better temperature stability and provide lower noise, and are generally better for high frequency or radiofrequency applications.
