TEST YOUR KNOWLEDGE

1. Identify the colors of the following resistors
Color Code
Resistors
a) 386 ohms ± 5% Orange, Gray, Blue, Black, Gold
b) 69 ohms ± 5% Blue, White, Black, Gold
c) 125 ohms ± 5% Brown, Red, Green, Black, Gold
d) 250 ohms ± 10% Red, Green, Brown, Silver
e) 4.7 ohms ± 20% Yellow, Violet, Gold

2. Write the values of the following resistors

Color Code Coded Value
a) Yellow, blue, red, red 4.6kΩ ±2%
b) Brown, black, gold, silver 1Ω ±10%
c) Green, gray, yellow, gold 580kΩ ±5%
d) Violet, green, red, black, brown 752Ω ±1%
e) White, Blue, Orange, Brown, Black 9.63kΩ ±20%

3. Define the following:

a) Resistor: is a passive two-terminal electrical component that implements

electrical resistance as a circuit element. In electronic circuits, resistors are
used to reduce current flow, adjust signal levels, to divide voltages, bias
active elements, and terminate transmission lines, among other uses.

b) Resistance: is a measure of the opposition to current flow in an electrical

circuit. It is measured in ohms, symbolize by the Greek letter Omega (Ω).

c) Circuit: is a closed path that allows electricity to flow from one point to
another. It may include various electrical components, such as transistors,
 resistors, and capacitors, but the flow is unimpeded by a gap or break in the
circuit.

d) Short Circuit: is an electrical circuit that allows a current to travel along an

unintended path with no or very low electrical impedance. This results in an
excessive current flowing through the circuit. The opposite of a short circuit is
an "open circuit", which is an infinite resistance between two nodes.

e) Open Circuit: an electrical circuit in which the continuity is broken so that

current does not flow.

f) Closed Circuit: it means a complete electrical connection around which

current flows or circulates. When you have a series of electrical wires
connecting to each other and completing a circuit so that current travels from
one end of the circle to the other, this is an example of a closed circuit.

4. Get the maximum value and minimum value of the resistors in problem #2
OBSERVATION:
There is no difference on the coded value and measured value because we used
a digital multi-meter which gives an exact measured value. In observation to these we
get a 0% difference since we have the same values on both coded and measured.
Unless the resistor is in bad shape. But since we used Tinkercad, it is assumed that all
resistors are good. In measuring the potentiometer, the value of each measured
terminal varies when you set it to different ranges. Also, I observe that we need to be
cautious in identifying the color code of each resistor as this might result in inputting
wrong values. Be wary if the resistor is a 4-band or 5 band resistors as this might
confuse in labeling the color if it is a significant figure, multiplier, or the tolerance.

CONCLUSION:
In conclusion, Digital ohmmeter generate more accurate results than the analog
ones. We also need to be very careful and observe the labeling of each resistor as this
might result to wrong coded values. We need to familiarize or better yet memorize the
value, multiplier, and tolerance of each color. We get 0% difference when the coded
value and measured value are the same. Getting the % Difference using this formula:
𝐶𝑜𝑑𝑒𝑑 𝑉𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒 − 𝑀𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑢𝑟𝑒𝑑 𝑉𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒
% 𝐷𝑖𝑓𝑓𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑒 =
𝐶𝑜𝑑𝑒𝑑 𝑉𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒

For example, on Table 1: Resistor 1 we have a coded value of 1kΩ and the measured
value of 1kΩ, then:
1kΩ − 1kΩ
% 𝐷𝑖𝑓𝑓𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑒 = = 0
1kΩ
In conclusion with these, we can only get a % difference, if the coded value and
measured value are different.

TEST YOUR KNOWLEDGE

1. Identify the colors of the following resistors
Color Code
Resistors
a) 386 ohms ± 5% Orange, Gray, Blue, Black, Gold
b) 69 ohms ± 5% Blue, White, Black, Gold
c) 125 ohms ± 5% Brown, Red, Green, Black, Gold
d) 250 ohms ± 10% Red, Green, Brown, Silver
e) 4.7 ohms ± 20% Yellow, Violet, Gold

2. Write the values of the following resistors

Color Code Coded Value
a) Yellow, blue, red, red 4.6kΩ ±2%
b) Brown, black, gold, silver 1Ω ±10%
c) Green, gray, yellow, gold 580kΩ ±5%
d) Violet, green, red, black, brown 752Ω ±1%
e) White, Blue, Orange, Brown, Black 9.63kΩ ±20%

3. Define the following:

a) Resistor: is a passive two-terminal electrical component that implements

electrical resistance as a circuit element. In electronic circuits, resistors are
used to reduce current flow, adjust signal levels, to divide voltages, bias
active elements, and terminate transmission lines, among other uses.

b) Resistance: is a measure of the opposition to current flow in an electrical

circuit. It is measured in ohms, symbolize by the Greek letter Omega (Ω).

c) Circuit: is a closed path that allows electricity to flow from one point to
another. It may include various electrical components, such as transistors,
 resistors, and capacitors, but the flow is unimpeded by a gap or break in the
circuit.

d) Short Circuit: is an electrical circuit that allows a current to travel along an

unintended path with no or very low electrical impedance. This results in an
excessive current flowing through the circuit. The opposite of a short circuit is
an "open circuit", which is an infinite resistance between two nodes.

e) Open Circuit: an electrical circuit in which the continuity is broken so that

current does not flow.

f) Closed Circuit: it means a complete electrical connection around which

current flows or circulates. When you have a series of electrical wires
connecting to each other and completing a circuit so that current travels from
one end of the circle to the other, this is an example of a closed circuit.

4. Get the maximum value and minimum value of the resistors in problem #2
OBSERVATION:
There is no difference on the coded value and measured value because we used
a digital multi-meter which gives an exact measured value. In observation to these we
get a 0% difference since we have the same values on both coded and measured.
Unless the resistor is in bad shape. But since we used Tinkercad, it is assumed that all
resistors are good. In measuring the potentiometer, the value of each measured
terminal varies when you set it to different ranges. Also, I observe that we need to be
cautious in identifying the color code of each resistor as this might result in inputting
wrong values. Be wary if the resistor is a 4-band or 5 band resistors as this might
confuse in labeling the color if it is a significant figure, multiplier, or the tolerance.

CONCLUSION:
In conclusion, Digital ohmmeter generate more accurate results than the analog
ones. We also need to be very careful and observe the labeling of each resistor as this
might result to wrong coded values. We need to familiarize or better yet memorize the
value, multiplier, and tolerance of each color. We get 0% difference when the coded
value and measured value are the same. Getting the % Difference using this formula:
𝐶𝑜𝑑𝑒𝑑 𝑉𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒 − 𝑀𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑢𝑟𝑒𝑑 𝑉𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒
% 𝐷𝑖𝑓𝑓𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑒 =
𝐶𝑜𝑑𝑒𝑑 𝑉𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒

For example, on Table 1: Resistor 1 we have a coded value of 1kΩ and the measured
value of 1kΩ, then:
1kΩ − 1kΩ
% 𝐷𝑖𝑓𝑓𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑒 = = 0
1kΩ
In conclusion with these, we can only get a % difference, if the coded value and
measured value are different.

such as large power resistors.

CONCLUSION:
 I there for conclude that the resistance value of a resistor can be
determined by its color coding. There are small differences between measured and
color coded values of the resistances. These differences may be caused by some
factors such as the multitester used in the experiment and some mistakes made. It
is much easier to read the the resistance value of resistor through a digital

d) violet, green, red, black, brown 752Ω ±1%
e) white, blue, orange, brown, black 9,630Ω (none)

3. Define the following:

a) Resistor
• A resistor is a passive two-terminal electrical component that implements electrical
resistance as a circuit element. In electronic circuits, resistors are used to reduce current
flow, adjust signal levels, to divide voltages, bias active elements, and terminate
transmission lines, among other uses.
b) Resistance
• Resistance is a measure of the opposition to current flow in an electrical circuit.
Resistance is measured in ohms, symbolized by the Greek letter omega (Ω).
c) Circuit
• A circuit is a closed loop that electrons can travel in. A source of electricity, such as a
battery, provides electrical energy in the circuit. Unless the circuit is complete, that is,
making a full circle back to the electrical source, no electrons will move.
d) Short circuit
• A short circuit is an electrical circuit that allows a current to travel along an unintended
path with no or very low electrical impedance. This results in an excessive current
flowing through the circuit.
e) Open circuit
• Open-circuit voltage is the difference of electrical potential between two terminals of a
device when disconnected from any circuit. There is no external load connected. No
external electric current flows between the terminals.
f) Closed circuit
• Closed circuit means a complete electrical connection around which current flows or
circulates. When you have a series of electrical wires connecting to each other and
completing a circuit so that current travels from one end of the circle to the other, this is
an example of a closed circuit.
4. Get the maximum value and minimum value of the resistors in problem # 2.

a) yellow, blue, red, red 4600Ω ±2%

4,600Ω x 0.02 = 92Ω
4,600Ω + 92Ω=4692Ω maximum
4,600Ω - 92Ω = 4508Ω minimum

b) brown, black, gold, silver 1Ω ±10%

1Ω x 0.1 = 0.1Ω
1Ω + 0.1Ω = 1.1Ω maximum
1Ω – 0.1Ω = 0.9Ω minimum

c) green, gray, yellow, gold 580kΩ ±5%

580kΩ x 0.05 = 29Ω
580Ω + 29Ω = 609Ω maximum
580Ω – 29Ω = 551Ω minimum

d) violet, green, red, black, brown 752Ω ±1%

752Ω x 0.01 = 7.52Ω
752Ω + 7.52Ω = 759.52Ω maximum
752Ω – 7.52Ω = 744.48Ω minimum

e) white, blue, orange, brown, black 9,630Ω (none)

OBSERVATIONS:

I was able to observe the difference of each resistors by actually checking on their band colors. Also able
to test out that digital multi-tester will give exact reading for each resistors. Was also able to see how
potentiometer works.

CONCLUSION:

I was able to conclude that we can actually check the amount of resistance just by simply looking at the
resistors but iwlt would be better to use tools that can actually do the exact reading to ensure we’re
using the right amount of resistance for each circuits.

3. Define the following:

a) Resistor
• A resistor is a passive two-terminal electrical component that implements electrical
resistance as a circuit element. In electronic circuits, resistors are used to reduce current
flow, adjust signal levels, to divide voltages, bias active elements, and terminate
transmission lines, among other uses.
b) Resistance
• Resistance is a measure of the opposition to current flow in an electrical circuit.
Resistance is measured in ohms, symbolized by the Greek letter omega (Ω).
c) Circuit
• A circuit is a closed loop that electrons can travel in. A source of electricity, such as a
battery, provides electrical energy in the circuit. Unless the circuit is complete, that is,
making a full circle back to the electrical source, no electrons will move.
d) Short circuit
• A short circuit is an electrical circuit that allows a current to travel along an unintended
path with no or very low electrical impedance. This results in an excessive current
flowing through the circuit.
e) Open circuit
• Open-circuit voltage is the difference of electrical potential between two terminals of a
device when disconnected from any circuit. There is no external load connected. No
external electric current flows between the terminals.
f) Closed circuit
• Closed circuit means a complete electrical connection around which current flows or
circulates. When you have a series of electrical wires connecting to each other and
completing a circuit so that current travels from one end of the circle to the other, this is
an example of a closed circuit.

c) green, gray, yellow, gold 580kΩ ±5%

580kΩ x 0.05 = 29Ω
580Ω + 29Ω = 609Ω maximum

d) violet, green, red, black, brown 752Ω ±1%

752Ω x 0.01 = 7.52Ω
752Ω + 7.52Ω = 759.52Ω maximum

e) white, blue, orange, brown, black 9,630Ω (none)

OBSERVATIONS:

I was able to observe the difference of each resistors by actually checking on their band colors. Also able
to test out that digital multi-tester will give exact reading for each resistors. Was also able to see how
potentiometer works.

CONCLUSION:

I was able to conclude that we can actually check the amount of resistance just by simply looking at the
resistors but iwlt would be better to use tools that can actually do the exact reading to ensure we’re
using the right amount of resistance for each circuits.
