0: Determining the value of resistors from their colour codes

Outcomes After you have completed this practical, E.I.C student should be able to: Determine the value of a resistor by reading the colour code Calculate the variation in resistance value that is acceptable to each resistor Components provided 10 resistors of different values Procedure Complete the table below for the specified components. TABLE 1 Component Resistor colour code R1= red; brown; red; gold R2= brown; black ;black; gold R3= yellow ; red; red ;gold R4= red ; red; brown; gold R5= green; blue; black; silver R6=orange; white; red; gold R7=brown; black; brown ; silver R8=yellow ; violet; black R9=orange; orange; black; silver R10=brown; black; brown ;gold Resistor value (calculated) Resistor value tolerance included (min) (max)
