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

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 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.


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 is the resistance value and tolerance with color bands of gray red black and gold?

The resistance value for the resistor with color bands gray-red-black-gold is 82 ohms with a tolerance of +/- 5%.


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 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.

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 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
