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!


What is the color code of resistor value 0.1?

A 0.1 ohm resistor is color coded brown (1) black(0) silver (x 10-2).


Why is pex tubing color coded?

Pex tubing was manufactured for plumbing. The actual tubing comes in two colors, red, and blue. These are to signal hot and cold when you are running the tubing.


How to identify a 470 ohm resistor?

Resistors are color coded to denote the value of the resistor as well as the multiplier. In your case a 470 ohm would be colored as Yellow Violet Brown corresponding to 4, 7 and a multiplier of 10^1.


What are HTML Color Codes used for?

The HTML code for colors is a so called RGB (red, green blue) value. it is coded in a hexadecimal manner. The range gos from 00 to FF (0-255) for each color. The coding schema is #RRGGBB were RR stands for the red component GG for the green component and BB for the blue component. A value of #000000 is black, a value of #FFFFFF is white. a value of #FF0000 is red, a value of #00FF00 is green and a value of #0000FF is blue. There is a improvement comming, conernihng RGBA values. The A stands for alpha amnd means transparency or translucency. This values are coded as #RRGGBBAA In all cases, instead of two digits for one color you can use one digit per color, the second digit for each color will then be the same as the first. So for example, #FF44AA is the same as #F4A, and #333366 is the same as #336.
