HOW TO FIND OUT THE VALUE OF A RESISTANCE BY ANALYZING THE COLOR CODES
Since it is not practical to print values of small electronic components on them, coloured rings are marked on the surface of the resistor. Each color represents a numeric value from 0 to 9, usually three rings are closely marked at the left end of the resistor to indicate the value of the resistor and another ring at the opposite end to indicate the tolerance value.
COLORS AND VALUES
| COLOUR | VALUE |
|---|---|
| Black | 0 |

TOLERANCE VALUES
Gold - 5%
Silver - 10%
No colour - 20%
Silver - 10%
No colour - 20%
HOW TO FIND OUT THE VALUES
1st RING is 1st digit
2nd RING is 2nd digit
3rd RING is no of zeros
4th RING (last ring at the opposite side) is the Tolerance
2nd RING is 2nd digit
3rd RING is no of zeros
4th RING (last ring at the opposite side) is the Tolerance
