resistor
The resistor is pricey at about $65 but will take less than one hour to replace.

Thus half the voltage is across the tube at rest, half across the load resistor.

Knowledge of soldering techniques, indentifing components, resistor color codes.

For example, a resistor regulates the relationship between voltage and current.

According to Camus, Sartre was a writer who resisted, not a resistor who wrote.
From the en.wikipedia.org
A memristor is a device that, like a resistor, opposes the passage of current.
From the newscientist.com
The bottom electrode is a resistor that heats up when a current passes through it.

This fault could be partly rectified by soldering a resistor across two pads.
From the en.wikipedia.org
From the resistor, the current returns to the source, completing the circuit.

More examples
  • An electrical device that resists the flow of electrical current
  • (resistive) exhibiting or relating to electrical resistance; "resistive load"
  • (resistive) insubordinate: disposed to or engaged in defiance of established authority
  • One who resists, especially a person who fights against an occupying army; An electronic component that transmits current in direct proportion to the voltage across it
  • (Resistors) devices designed to resist the flow of current in an electrical circuit. In integrated circuits, resistors of different values are manufactured by controlling the level of doping in N-type semiconductor.
  • (Resistors) dissipated power, DC current density (mA/mm), maximum temperature. More information here.
  • Resistors restrict current flow. Vishay manufactures many different types of resistive products, including single (discrete) resistors based on thin film, thick film, metal oxide film, carbon film, and wirewound technologies, as well as resistor networks and arrays, in which multiple resistors ...
  • A resistive touch screen panel is coated with a thin metallic electrically conductive and resistive layer that causes a change in the electrical current which is registered as a touch event and sent to the controller for processing. ...
  • Resistive touchscreens are passive and can respond to any kind of pressure on the screen. They allow a high level of precision (which may be needed, when the touch screen tries to emulate a mouse for precision pointing, which in Tablet personal computers is common) but may require calibration to ...
