Objective
1. To determine the stated value at a resistor by interpreting the colour code indicated on the resistor.
2. To understand better the calculation of the resistor.
Theory
There are two ways to find the resistance value of a resistor. The color bands on the body of the
resistor tell how much resistance it has. As shown in the following diagrams figure (1), there are 5band resistors and 4-band resistors. Form both 5-and 4-band resistors, the last band indicates
tolerance in table (1). Consult with the Resistor Tolerance in table (2) chart for finding the
tolerance value.
The first litter word to represent color resistor code in table (1)
View the resistors and based on the color bands determine its value. Below is an example

Axial resistors are cylindrical with leads extending from each end.
Look at the resistor so the group of 3 or 4 color bands are on the left side.
Read the color bands from left to right.
Read the color on the last color band, which is farthest right.
The value of the RMA Resistor Color Code System is recorded
The central knob of analogue multimeter is adjusted to get the appropriate measurement value.
The value of analogue multimeter of resistor is recorded.
The above step is repeated for other resistant.

Discussion
The resistor color
code was very
useful in
determining the
values of the
individual resistors.
The data presented
in Table 1 indicates
that both of the
resistors selected
were within the
tolerance range
Conclusion
As a conclusion, for the resistant the value resistant from analogue and digital reading of
multimeter must be tally with the manual calculation from the codes of color. For the diode it
is important to check first the VIB of diode to know its material.
