What is the color code for a -10 ohm resistor.
That's a NEGATIVE 10 ohm resistor, not a standard (positive) 10 ohm
brown-black-black resistor. (Thats 10 ohms below zero ohms).
Isn't negative resistance a battery? After all one can measure the ESR of
batteries...
That's still a positive resistance just like a resistor you add to the
circuit. The only negative resistance I know of is in certain semiconductor
devices and only applies over a limited range of voltage and current.
