An electrical device that resists the flow of current (electrons) though it. Resistance is measured in ohms (). A 500 resistor provides more resistance than a 100 resistor, so less current flows through the device (given the same voltage).

Note that resistors are not polarized like LEDs. So it doesn’t matter which end you use when connecting a resistor.
