What type of fixed resistor is made by applying a film of metal to a ceramic rod in a vacuum?
A) composition carbon
B) metal film
C) metal glaze
D) wire-wound
Metal Film
A type of resistor that uses a thin metal film as the resistive element to provide stability and accuracy.
Ceramic Rod
A rod made of ceramic material, often used in applications requiring high temperature resistance or electrical insulation.
Composition Carbon
Likely refers to carbon composition resistors, electronic components made from carbon dust or graphite paste, used for their stable electrical resistance.
