Basically you can either read the resistance that is printed on the resistor (with a special color code, which you would have to learn), or you can use Ohm's Law, by measuring a voltage through the resistor and the corresponding current. I am not aware of any third method.
What else can I help you with?
What do the colours on resistor mean?
The colored bands on a resistor represent the resistor value and tolerance. The first two bands indicate the significant digits of the resistance value, the third band represents the multiplier, and the fourth band (if present) indicates the tolerance of the resistor. By decoding these colors, you can determine the resistance value of the resistor.
What is the largest value the resistor can be and still be in tolerance?
To determine the largest value a resistor can be while still being in tolerance, you need to know the resistor's nominal value and its tolerance percentage. For example, if a resistor has a nominal value of 100 ohms with a tolerance of 5%, the maximum allowable resistance would be 100 ohms + (5% of 100 ohms), which is 105 ohms. Thus, the largest value the resistor can be while remaining in tolerance is 105 ohms.
What value resistor will you need?
To determine the value of the resistor needed, you would typically need to know the voltage across the resistor and the desired current flowing through it. The value can be calculated using Ohm's Law: resistance (in ohms) = voltage (in volts) / current (in amperes).
Show you colors for 2.2 kiloohms resistor?
Three red color bands indicate a resistor value of 2,200 ohms (2.2 kohms)
Describe the purpose of the coloured bands on a resistor?
The colored bands on a resistor indicate its resistance value and tolerance. By interpreting the color code, you can determine the resistance value of the resistor and the range within which the actual resistance may vary. This helps in identifying, sorting, and using resistors in electronic circuits.
What are resistor values defined by?
Resistor value is defined by the Resistance the resistor offers in Kilo ohms/ohms value given by color codes on the resistor.
What is a resistor whose value can varied over a range of value called?
Variable resistor. The value of the variable resistor can be changed at any given moment.
2 resistors unequal value are in parallel. Would the power dissipated by the resistor with larger ohmic value be greater than the power dissipated by the resistor of lesser value?
No, because the power dissipated in a resistor is proportional to the square of the current through the resistor but only directly proportional to the resistance of the resistor (I^2 * R) and the current through the lower value resistor will be higher than the current through the higher value resistor, the lower value resistor will usually dissipate more power.
How Determine the power dissipated by the resistor?
Power dissipated by the resistor = I^2 * R or V^2 / R, where R = its resistance value, I = the current in the resistor, and V = the voltage drop across the two terminals of the resistor. You need to measure or find the information of either I (using an ammeter) or V (a voltmeter).
What is the relation between the size of the resistor and its value?
There is no relation between the resistor's ohms value and its size. The power of the resistor can be seen by its size. If the power is too small, the resistor can be destroyed.
What do the first 3 bands on a resistor indicate?
The first 3 band on a resistor indicate the value of that resistor.
How do you measure burned out resistor value?
A: You may find some traces of the color code bands if not there is not way to determine its value with a VOM the carbon residue will falsely deviate the value . Cleaning with it with a alcohol will help but to be certain there is no way
