color coding makes easy to find the resistance of a given resistor..

coding contains colors like

0--Black

1--Brown

2--Red

3--Orange

4--Yellow

5--Green

6--Blue

7--Violet

8--Grey

8--White

Ans: now if color code is Red-red-green-gold then

resistance= 22x10^5 Ohm and tolerance is +-5%

It is sometimes not obvious whether a color coded component is a resistor, capacitor, or inductor, and this may be deduced by knowledge of its circuit function, physical shape or by measurement. Resistor values are always coded in ohms (symbol Ω), capacitors in picofarads (pF), and inductors in microhenries (µH).

One decade of the E12 series (there are twelve preferred values per decade of values) shown with their electronic color codes on resistors.

A 100 kΩ, 5% through-hole resistor.

A 0Ω resistor, marked with a single black band.


To distinguish left from right there is a gap between the C and D bands. * band A is first significant figure of component value (left side) * band B is the second significant figure * band C is the decimal multiplier * band D if present, indicates tolerance of value in percent (no color means 20%)

For example, a resistor with bands of yellow, violet, red, and gold will have first digit 4 (yellow in table below), second digit 7 (violet), followed by 2 (red) zeros: 4,700 ohms. Gold signifies that the tolerance is ±5%, so the real resistance could lie anywhere between 4,465 and 4,935 ohms.

Resistors manufactured for military use may also include a fifth band which indicates component failure rate (reliability); refer to MIL-HDBK-199 for further details.

Tight tolerance resistors may have three bands for significant figures rather than two, and/or an additional band indicating temperature coefficient, in units of ppm/K.

All coded components will have at least two value bands and a multiplier; other bands are optional (italicised below).

What do the colours on resistor mean?

The colored bands on a resistor represent the resistor value and tolerance. The first two bands indicate the significant digits of the resistance value, the third band represents the multiplier, and the fourth band (if present) indicates the tolerance of the resistor. By decoding these colors, you can determine the resistance value of the resistor.


What do the first 3 bands on a resistor indicate?

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


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.


What do the different colours on a resistor mean?

The color bands on a resistor indicate its resistance value. Each color corresponds to a digit, which is used to calculate the resistance value based on a specific color code chart. The tolerance of the resistor is also indicated by a separate color band.


What does the third and of a resistor mean?

That depends on the resistor, the resistors that are color coded come with either 4, 5 or 6 bands. On resistors with 4 bands, the 3'rd band is the multiplier. F.ex if we have a Resistor colored brown:red:orange it would mean 1 : 2 : 3 which translates to (10+2)*10^3, or 12*1000 = 12k Ohm On resistors with 5 or 6 bands, the 3'rd band is just another digit For examle a 5-band resistor starting with brown|red|orange|yellow would mean 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 which translates to (100+20+3) * 10^4 or 123*10000 = 1,23M Ohm


What do the lines on the resistor mean?

They are color coded lines (or Bands) that are usually broken down into 2 parts. the first part of the bands are to establish the amount of resistance the resistor is constructed, by design, to perform in a circuit. The second part (which is the usally the last line or band) extablishes the amout of tolarance the designed resistor has. tolorance bands are always silver or gold if they are there but there is a provision where you may not see a tolorance band. There are plenty of electronis sites that can break down the color codes for you. but they are based on a X10, X100, X1000... mutipliers depending on which position the band is located in ie. first, second, third and so on... and for how many there are.

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!
