Small resistors placed in the emitters of paralleled output devices to equalise their currents are called ______ resistors.

  • A.pull-up
  • B.ballast
  • C.bleeder
  • D.swamping

Answer: B

These are ballast resistors, and they work because a device taking more current develops more voltage across its own resistor, which reduces its drive. A bleeder discharges a capacitor, a swamping resistor stabilises a gain, and a pull-up establishes a logic level. Each name describes what the resistor is there to do, and using the right one makes a schematic self-explanatory to whoever reads it next.
