How to Memorize "resistors"

1. visualize
   

   - Imagine a resistor as a water hose with a variable-sized nozzle. The resistance is determined by the size of the nozzle, which regulates the flow of water through the hose.

2. associate
   

   - Associate the word 'resistor' with the word 'regulator' to help remember its function.

3. mnemonics
   

   - Remember the acronym 'ROAR': Resistor, Ohms, Amps, Resist.
