Experimentino :01 Name of Experiment : Colour code of Resistor. Theory : Resistor Colour Coding uses coloured bands to easily identify a resistors resistive value and its percentage tolerance. Required Equipment: |. 4-Band Resistor. 5-Band Resistor. 6-Band Resistor. }. AVO meter. Pwr Figure: 4-Band Resistor: 4-Band Resistor 5-Band Resistor: 5-Band Resistor 6-Band Resistor: 6-Band Resistor Fig Resistance is calculated this way: Resistance = (1st Digitx 10 + 2nd Digit) x Multiplier + Tolerance. Calculation: Example 01: This resistor, read from left to right, has the colored bands of RED, VIOLET, YELLOW, SILVER. R= AstDigit x 10 + 2nd Digit) x Multiplier #Tolerance % R= (RED X10 + VIOLET) x YELLOW + % (2x 10+7) x 10,000+10% 27x 10,000 +10% Maximum Resistance Value: R= 270000 + 2700 =297000 ohm (297 K ohms). Minimum Resistance Value: R = 270000 -2700 =267300 ohm (267.3k ohms). Fig:02 Discussion: There are many different types of Resistor available which can be used in both electrical and electronic circuits to control the flow of current or to produce a voltage drop in many different ways. But in order to do this the actual resistor needs to have some form of “resistive” or “resistance” value. Resistors are available in a range of different resistance values from fractions of an Ohm (Q) to millions of Ohms, Obviously, it would be impractical to have available resistors of every possible value for example, 10, 20, 30, 40 etc, because literally tens of hundreds of thousands, if not tens of millions of different resistors would need to exist to cover all the possibile values. Instead, resistors are manufactured in what are called “preferred values” with their resistance value printed onto their body in coloured ink. So to overcome this, small resistors use coloured painted bands to indicate both their resistive value and their tolerance with the physical size of the resistor indicating its wattage rating. These coloured painted bands produce a system of identification generally known as a Resistors Calour Code.
