You need a low-value, higher-power resistor that won't thermal-drift under load. This JAYCAR carbon film unit sits at exactly 1 ohm and handles 1 watt continuously — four times the headroom of a standard ¼-watt part. That extra margin matters when you're current-limiting, sensing, or damping in a circuit that runs warm. Carbon film construction keeps noise low and tolerance stable. One part, correct rating, no over-spec waste. Put it in and get back to the rest of the build
