Best Answer

As far as I know, nothing. It is the color bands on the resistor that represent the value of the resistor.

Answer

In the, now-obsolete, 'body-tip-spot' colour code system, the 'body' colour represented the first significant figure, the 'tip' colour represented the second significant figure, and the 'spot' colour represented the multiplier. The colours of the 'body-tip-spot' method correspend exactly to the colours used with the 'band' method.

With the 'body-tip-spot' method, the body of the resistor was painted in one colour; one end of the resistor (the 'tip') was painted another colour, and a coloured 'spot' or 'dot', was placed roughly halfway along the body of the resistor.

How can i Calculate the colours on a resistor?

Type your answer here... u can c colored rings on resistor . The color of these rings is the key, follow a simple rule " Bad Boys Ravish Young Girls But Verginia Goes Willingly" initial letter of each word mentioned in above phrase represents a color & their sequence no. represents numerical value of that color ring.


What is the resistor color code and how is it used to identify and select resistors?

The resistor color code use to help to identify the resistance of the resistor. There are four color in the resistor that help to identify the resistance of the resistor. The first and second color represent the numerical value of the resistor. The third color represent the multiplier. The four color represent the tolerance.


How do you change color of cmd?

To change the color, you must type "color" followed by a number and a letter. The number represents the background color and the letter represents the text color. To view the available colors, enter "color g" into CMD. This will give you a list of the available colors for text and background and the letter/number that cooresponds. Decide what color combination you want and type the appropriate number and letter. For example, if you want red text on a purple background, you would type "color 5C" (because 5=purple and C=red).

How do you work out resisters percentage?

On a color coded resistor, there are normally four color bands. The first three represent the value of the resistor and the fourth represents the tolerance of the resistor, i.e. the acceptable variation as a percentage from the stated value. No fourth band allows +/- 20% Silver allows +/- 10% Gold allows +/- 5% Red allows +/- 2% Brown allows +/- 1%

Resistor value is defined by the Resistance the resistor offers in Kilo ohms/ohms value given by color codes on the resistor.


How can a technician identify a wire wound resistor that is color coded?

The same way he/she can identify a composite resistor that is color coded or a metal film resistor that is color coded: by reading the color code bands. They all use the same color code. If for some reason the color bands are damaged and unreadable, the resistor will have to be removed and measured with a meter. However this reading may be incorrect as whatever caused the color bands to become unreadable may have also damaged the resistor, changing its value. Verify the value on the schematic!
