Working Principle

The CA0002300R0KB12 works using Ohm’s Law, which defines the relationship between the amount of resistance (R) of a component with the voltage (V) and current (I). The law states that the voltage (V) is equal to the current (I) times the resistance (R). To calculate the value of the resistor, the current times the resistance value is the voltage. This equation is written as:

V = I x R
