View source for High value resistors (electronics)

'''High value resistors''' (HVR) are electronic components used for special applications, such as in bio-medical systems, measurement equipment and some condenser [[microphone]]s. While discrete [[resistors]] in the range of few tens of [[megohm]] are very common, making giga-ohm range resistors is more complicated. Discrete resistors are available up to several tera-ohms, but are expensive because of limited demand. Sometimes, a combination of [[Electronic_component#Active_components|active]] and [[Electronic_component#Passive_components|passive electronic devices]] is used to achieve such a high resistance.<ref>A.
