Is discrete is a type of resistor?

A discrete component is one where the package contains only one circuit element. The opposite is an "integrated circuit" (aka a "silicon chip" or "chip") where a package contains many circuit elements. It's not that "discrete" is a type of resistor, it's that a resistor is a type of discrete component.


What is a resistor decade box?

A box of precision resistors where you can dial in the exact resistance you want with dials. Essentially a variable resistor with very precise, discrete, settings.


Define zero ohm resistor.?

A zero-ohm resistor does not exist, so we are talking about an ideal resistor. An ideal resistor is needed for description in a circuit, where we lump all wire/parasitic resistances into discrete resistors, but the wire joining two discrete resistors is considered to have no resistance. My definition: a zero-ohm resistor is an ideal resistor that does not consume energy when a current exists in the resistor. Alternatively, a zero-ohm resistor is an ideal resistor that cannot sustain any potential drop when a current is on. Thirdly, a zero-ohm resistor is an ideal resistor that will conduct an infinite current when a voltage is applied across it.


What are common names for some primary discrete components used on circuit boards?

Resistors, capacitors, diodes


What cell that decreases in resistance with a decrease in illumination?

A photo resistor decreases in resistance as illumination increases. I don't believe there are any discrete components that accomplish what you are asking. You may need to use a photo resistor, combined with a transistor to invert this operation.


What is the difference between a discrete circuit and integrated circuit?

Discrete components - each component: vacuum tube, transistor, resistor, capacitor, etc. is individually packaged, then connected together to make a circuit.Integrated circuit - multiple components are packaged together making a complete circuit as one integrated device. Modern ICs frequently contain hundreds of billions of components in one device.Discrete component circuitry is bulkier than ICs because more packaging is involved.
