Electronics Activity 4
OBJECTIVES:
BACKGROUND:
This learning activity sheet was developed by the subject teacher in
Basic Electronics based on the lessons from the fourth Self-Learning
Material (Module 4) for the first quarter which contains two lessons on
passive electronic components. Grade 10 under STE Curriculum shall use
and answer this LAS individually along with the SLM as guide.
Day 1 & 2
Activity 1 – Resistance of Color-Coded Resistors
Procedure: Give the Band Colors of the resistors whose resistance and tolerance
are shown in the table below: (Use the Resistor Color Codes)
Day 3 & 4
Activity 1 – Resistance of Color Coded Resistors
Procedure: Determine the proper color- coding of the following resistor values and
determine the number of bands required to identify them properly. Do it
using the resistor color chart.

Day 5 & 6:
Direction : Answer the following questions briefly.
1. When a resistor conducts electric current, its temperature increases.
Explain how this phenomenon is significant to the application of
resistors in electric circuits. In other words, why would we care about
a resistor’s temperature increasing?
It is because due to the high and excessive temperature, the resistor can’t
withstand that amount of heat which would result in being damaged
Also, what does this indicate about the technical ratings of resistors?
Aside from having a specific resistance rating (i.e. a certain number
of ohms), what other rating is important for proper selection of
resistors in electric circuits?
We need to take note and consider the power rating, the resistor voltage rating,
and the mounting style and physical size in proper resistor selection.
2. Resistors are sometimes represented in electrical and
electronic schematic diagrams by a symbol other than this:
, _________________ (answer)
(NOTE: When capacitors are connected in series, they always have the
same charge, assuming that they were uncharged before they were
connected. The potential difference is not equal unless the
capacitance is equal. The total potential difference across the
combination is the sum of the individual potential differences. While
capacitors that are connected in parallel, the potential difference V is
always the same for both. The charges on the two are not equal unless
the capacitance are equal; the total charge on the combination is the
sum of the individual charges.)

b. Parallel
Equivalent Capacitance:
Ceq = C1 + C2 = 6.0 µF + 3.0 µF = 9.0 µF
Charge: (Q1 = Charge of C1; Q2 = Charge of C2)
Q1 = C1V = (6 x 10-6 F) (18V) = 1.08 x 10-4 C
Q2 = C2V = (3 x 10-6 F) (18V) = 5.4 x 10-5 C
Total Charge:
Q1 = C1 + C2 = 1.08 x 10-3 C + 5.4 x 10-4 C = 0.01626 C or 1.62 x 10-3 C
Potential Difference (V) (the voltage of C1 and C2 have the same
value):
V = 18V
