Wiring resistors which is - or +

[ezland00]

On wiring resistor, does it matter which way you put it?

If you wire it the wrong way, the resistor will explode on ya, causing an explosion with

f(N)=(I)(Resistance in ohms)

BE CAREFUL!!!!!

V = IR ohms law 0wnz j00!

no, that only happens if you put the wires on backwards. Resistors swing both ways

its the diodes you gotta be careful with.

a resistor is like an orfice, it has the same restiction either way.

Careful with the wires, they're finicky. Don't bend em, either. The 0s can go through since they're smooth, but the 1s get caught in the bends, and you have to clean them out. If you put them through loops, everything gets mixed up, too.




*on topic*
there are resistors that are polarized, but you're not using them.
