IT IS A DEVICE WHICH OFFERS RESISTANCE
TO FLOW OF CURRENT IN ANY CIRCUIT.

SYMBOL OF RESISTOR-
 TYPE OF RESISTOR
 FIXED RESISTOR  VARIABLE RESISTOR

 RESISTOR
 Fixed resistors come in a
variety of different shapes,
sizes and forms
 Axial lead resistors have the
value of resistance printed
on them or as a colour code
 Surface mount resistors
have a numerical code
indicating a value
 Resistors
 Variable resistors
are called
potentiometers
 There is a fixed
value of resistance
between two
terminals
 The moving part of
the potentiometer is
called the wiper
Understanding the
Resistor Color Code
 RESISTOR
THERE ARE TWO COLOUR CODE SYSTEM’S
FOR CALCULATING THE VALUE OF A
FIXED RESISTOR.

1). FOUR BAND RESISTOR COLOUR CODE

2). FIVE BAND RESISTOR COLOUR CODE

 Resistors
 Four band resistor
colour code
 1st band provides the
first significant figure
of the code
 2nd band provides the
second significant
figure of the code
 3rd band is the
multiplier
 4th band indicates the
tolerance value
 4-Band Resistors
The resistor nominal value is encoded in the color code in Powers of
Ten Notation. The template for determining the nominal value and
tolerance of a resistor with 4 color bands is given below:

1st Band = 2nd Band = 3rd Band = 4th Band =

1st Significant Digit 2nd Significant Digit Multiplier Tolerance

___ ___  10    ____ %

 5-Band Resistors
 For resistors with 1% or 2% tolerance, the color code consists of 5
bands.
 The template for 5-band resistors is:

1st Band = 2nd Band = 3rd Band = 4th Band = 5th Band =
1st Significant 2nd Significant 3rd Significant Multiplier Tolerance
Digit Digit Digit

___ ___ ___  10    ____ %

How do we know which color corresponds to
which number?

Using the Resistor Color Code Table

 Resistors
Resistor colour code calculation

 The first band red has a value

of 2

 The second band purple has a

value of 7
2
 The third band has a multiplier
of x 10 7
 The last band indicates a x10
tolerance value of +/-5%
+/-5%
 Resistance value is 270Ω +/-5%
 Resistor Color Code
 The power rating is not indicated in the resistor
color code and must be determined by experience
using the physical size of the resistor as a guide.

 For resistors with 5% or 10% tolerance, the

color code consists of 4 color bands.

 For resistors with 1% or 2% tolerance, the color

code consists of 5 bands.
