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 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.
Why are there couler bands on a resistor?
Color bands are used on resistors to indicate their resistance value and tolerance. Each color represents a digit, and by combining multiple colors, you can determine the resistance value. The bands help quickly identify the resistor's value without needing to use a multimeter or other measuring tools.
How calculated the value of resistor that is to be used in particular circuit?
To read the value of a resistor: Resistors are color coded, you can use the chart found below And how accurate the values of resistors are is their tolerance, also found in the chart
How do manufacturers of resistors indicate the value of the resistance?
They use a color code. Colored bands on the resistor that tell the value. Some precision resistors have their value written on them.
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!
How is the polarity of a resistor determined?
Resistors do not have a polarity. BY DEFINITION, a resistor is a device that follows Ohms law, and does so regardless of the polarity in which it is inserted into a circuit. Manufacturers of resistors do all they can to make their resistors follow that definition. One way to make a resistor have no polarity is to build it so that it is mechnically symmetrical about its two leads. Doing so will ensure that it will also be electrically symmetrical, and thus non-polarized
What is the Technique used in resistors is coding or decoding?
If you want resistor color code, look in wikipedia electronics color code
What happens to the value of a resistor when it goes bad?
we can say that a resistor gone bad if 1. its resistance is different than that printed by the color code 2. doesn't conduct any current Resistors normally will burn open. Carbon resistors almost always do this, while wireound resistors can lower in resistance. They may still allow current flow, but it will not be correct.
Why experimental calculations shoul use measured values of resistors rather than color coded values?
Experimental calculations should use measured values of resistors, because actual resistors can deviate slightly from their color-coded values due to manufacturing tolerances. Using measured values ensures more accurate results in experiments where resistor values play a critical role.
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.
Why does resistance value measured using multimeter differ from one decoded using colour band?
Resistors have tolerance. So does the multimeter. Standard resistors range from 20% (no fourth band), to 10% (fourth band silver), to 5% (fourth band gold). Resistors will not normally measure exactly what you expect, and proper circuit design must take this into account.The multimeter may not be calibrated correctly.
