Carbon composition (Energy applications) resistors consist of a solid cylindrical resistive element with embedded wire terminals protected with an epoxy coating. The resistive element is made from a mixture of finely ground (powdered) carbon and an insulating material (usually ceramic). The mixture is held together by a resin. The resistance is determined by the ratio of the fill material (the powdered ceramic) and the carbon. Higher concentrations of carbon, a weak conductor, result in lower resistance.
