Which?

>>8647640
R2.
I don't know why I still draw R1 by hand, always looks like shit

R1 cause I like the squiggly line

R2 for a resistor, R1 for an arbitrary source of resistance.

left is an elastic element
right is a resistor

I use rectangular resistor symbols, but squiggly line inductors which always look like shit, because I don't feel like taking the time to fill in the rectangle.

R2; sometimes my wires just get all jagged like that but aren't actually resistors

>>8647640
R2 stronker !

>>8647640
R1. I feel like the open space in R2 leaves room to write in a label for a load that also includes a reactance.

R1 is still a bitch to draw though, but it sticks in my head.

damn right

If its a resistor, its left. A left is a resistor, right is a fucking "other"

That rectangle shit needs to go

>>8647640
I prefer the zig zag. It's faster and hand drawn rectangles are all different shapes and sizes; not pretty to look at.

While we're on the subject how does /sci/ think a resistor should be labeled in a schematic?
4.7k
4k7
Put a label like R9 on it and make people look it up in a table.

Normally like this

But
>Put a label like R9 on it and make people look it up in a table.
Sounds better for a product schematic

>>8647640
I prefer R2, you can draw them lazily and not confuse them with inductors

>>8647640
A resistor shall have three zigs on one side, and three on the other. The first zig shall be to the left as you approach one end of a resistor from a circuit trace.

r1

> tfw going through a text book that uses r2 and writing cuck in the box

who /mischief/

R1 because I like the idea of a moutain range slowing down the electrons

R1 for resistor
R2 for impedance

this

impedance is measured in ohms and it kinda relates to resistance: it is basically the resistance every component has, like inductors and capacitors).
Correct me if I am wrong, I failed circuits II in my uni
