The color bands show the nominal resistance. The actual resistance is within some percentage (tolerance) of the nominal resistance, so the measured resistance is close to the nominal but not exactly the same. Also resistance varies with factors like temperature and age of the device.

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 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.

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%


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.
