About This Product
Fixed resistors of known value are the building blocks of circuit practicals. A 2 ohm resistor is used to check Ohm’s law at higher currents, to build series and parallel networks with other fixed values, and to study how the power dissipated in a resistor depends on the current through it. Schools, colleges and institutes in Mali, United Kingdom, Zambia, North Macedonia, Guinea-Bissau and South Korea can order the 2 OHM FIXED RESISTOR from Educational Instrument.
