What does a resistor have to do with a stick?



Commonly the size of a grain of rice with pretty colours, a resistor is a
regular item in many electrical devices. This week in Foundations of
Amateur Radio I take a look at how ice-cubes, electrons, sticks and
resistors describe what is going on inside an electrical circuit without
