In the modern realm of naval operations, the seamless integration of cutting-edge electronic systems is paramount. Many warships today are equipped with sophisticated electronic components that have become imperative in ensuring the vessel's functionality, safety, and efficiency. From autopilot systems to advanced compasses, GPS units, chartplotters, and electronic Magnetic Fluxgate (MFM) sensors, mastering the fundamentals of these systems is crucial for naval personnel navigating the vast expanses of the ocean.

A resistor is an electrical component that implements an electrical resistance inside a circuit element by using a passive two-terminal design. There are several different kinds of resistors on the market and most are made for use within an electronic circuit. Depending on the application, resistors from a certain manufacturer, in a certain size or material may be required. Because certain resistors can only handle the pre-determined values of ohms in specific scenarios, it’s important to choose the right resistor. And there are two categories of resistors, fixed and variable.
