The 10 ohm resistor strikes a balance between low resistance and manageable power dissipation. It's commonly used in digital circuits for pull-down applications, current limiting for LEDs in high-voltage systems, and as a base resistor in transistor circuits. Its moderate resistance value makes it suitable for applications where you need to limit current without creating significant voltage drops.
