Step 11: Identifying Resistors
Resistor values are color coded (see table below).
The resistors used in the kit with 5% tolerance have 4 colored bands (two significant digits, one multiplier, one tolerance). E.g. brown(1) – red(2) – yellow(10E4) – gold(5%) means 12*1E4 Ω = 120 kΩ, Tolerance 5%
Resistors used in the kit with 1% tolerance have 5 colored bands (3 significant digits, one multiplier, one tolerance).
If available, checking each resistor value with an Ohmmeter is recommended.
