     what is a bleeder resistor?
    what is its function?
    normally, in what type of circuit is it used?

    A bleeder resistor is a resistor placed in parallel with a high-voltage supply for the purposes of discharging the energy stored in the power source’s filter capacitors or other components that store electrical energy when the equipment is turned off.

    It is a use for a standard resistor rather than a separate type of component.
