Resistor 47 kΩ (1/4W)

Resistor

Carbon film resistor. Used in dividers that measure higher voltages: with a 10 kΩ it brings 12V down to about 2.1V. As a pull-up in battery projects it wastes very little current.

Projects with this part

• Arduino-Free Dark-Activated LampBeginner25 minA night light with no Arduino and no code, built from just a 9V battery, a BC547 transistor, an LDR and a potentiometer: when it gets dark the LED lights by itself, and it goes out when the light comes back. With the potentiometer you set how dark it must be. It teaches three cornerstones of basic electronics: the voltage divider (the potentiometer and the LDR), the transistor as a switch that turns a large current on and off with a small base current, and limiting an LED's current with a resistor. You see how these parts, used in Arduino projects all the time, work without one.Open project
