A: The basic color code for value is as follow 0 black, 1 brown 2 red 3 orange 4 yellow 5 green 6 blue 7 violet 8 grey 9 white if i remember correctly. To read the value is simple 153 for example means 14 and the last number is the multiplier in this case 3 zeros translated as 15000 or 15k resistor. There maybe a fourth band for % +/-

A sentence used to memorize this is "Bad boys rape our young girls but violet gives willingly to gold orange or 20%.

That would be Brown Black Black. Zero ohm resistors come with one black stripe.

What do the bands on resistors mean?

in simple terms, band represent numbers, ex:- 10K resistor have different colour code and that is difference from 5k resistor. if you type in google 'resistor colour code' that will describe how to calculate a resistor value. thanks

i presume you meant colour, but there are colours on resistors so we know what the resistance is.


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.


What is the main advantages of the colourcoding of resistors?

Colour coding resistors is an inexpensive way to denote their resistance value and tolerance percentage during mass production. It would be considerably more expensive to print numerical values on small components like resistors and probably hard to read the results.

How do you find the colour code for car if theres no code on the car?

Make a car. Choose the RGB. You now have the colour for the car.


Can I just use resistors to control the current for 3 of the 4 pins in a RGB LED to change its color?

Yes you can reduce the current and therefore the brightness of each colour to change the overall colour. You could even put in three variable resistors with 3 fixed resistors to limit the maximum current. ( when you turn the pots right down to zero).


What are those materials of resistors?
