Resistor 100 kΩ (1/4W)

Resistor

Carbon film resistor. Its high resistance suits pull-up/pull-down resistors, voltage dividers and the read-out circuits of sensors such as an LDR; very little current flows at this value.

Projects with this part

• Night Light (LDR)Beginner20 minA night light that turns itself on as the room gets dark. An LDR (light sensor) and a 100 kΩ resistor form a voltage divider; the Arduino reads the light level on pin A0 and, in the dark, dims the LED on pin 9 with PWM. It teaches analog reading, thresholds and PWM. No extra library needed.Open project
