How do you find the resistance of a resistor with color code?
Reading and Determining the Resistor Value Hold the resistor with the gold or silver band to the right and read the color codes from the left to the right. Select the color codes from the bands on the resistor. Read the colors from left to right. The resistance value based on the color code provided is now displayed.
What does each color on a resistor mean?
Most resistors have four stripes of color. The first three stripes indicate the resistance value, and the fourth stripe indicates the tolerance. Some resistors have five stripes of color, with four representing the resistance value and the last one the tolerance.
How to calculate resistance using a colour code?
Each resistor has a specific resistance value as per designing colour band. And it depends upon the colour code/band printed on the resistor. Before using any resistor in an electronic circuit, you need to find out the first resistance value of the resistor. How to calculate Resistance using colour code?
What does the color code on a resistor mean?
Resistor color code indicates that a series of colored bands are painted on the resistor and most of the manufacturers identify their resistance value by means of a color code. There are various values of resistors available from some ohms to millions of ohms.
What are the tolerances of five band resistors?
Most five band resistors are precision resistors with tolerances of either 1% or 2% while most of the four band resistors have tolerances of 5%, 10% and 20%. The colour code used to denote the tolerance rating of a resistor is given as: Brown = 1%, Red = 2%, Gold = 5%, Silver = 10 %. If resistor has no fourth tolerance band then
