Materials: Colored Resistors, Video and Slide Presentation/Projector/Laptop

III. Procedure:

Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity

A. Pre-Activity

Good morning Good Morning Sir!

class!

 Before we start our lesson , everybody (Christian lead the prayer)

stand up and let us pray. One of you
come in front and lead the prayer.
 Who is absent among the girls? All present Sir!
 Who is absent among the boys? All present Sir!

B. Motivation

I have here different kinds of color, can you Yes Sir.

name it?
(Teacher show slides)
Red Red
Blue Blue
Yellow Yellow
Green Green
Purple Purple
Orange Orange
Black Black
Brown Brown
Silver Silver
Gold Gold

Very Good! I have here a short video and I Yes Sir! (The students watch the video)
want you to behave and understand.

C. Lesson Proper

Okay class, in the video you watched, what is Sir the video is all about resistor color code.
it all about? Michael.

Very Good! What else? Julius Sir in the video tells where is the multiplier
and the tolerance.
Very Good! Sir it is the resistance value and tolerance that are
Okay, what is resistor color code? Noli indicated with several colored bands around the
component body.

That’s right! Sir through its color bands.

Now that you know what is resistor color code,
how is the resistance of the resistors measured?

It seems that color of the resistor is very Sir by using Resistor Color Code
important, how do we know which color
corresponds to which number?

Very Good!
So, here is the Resistor Color Code (students look at the slides)
(Teacher show slides)

Okay class, which side of a resistor do I read from?
Very good, how about the 5-band resistor?
That’s right!
Sir for 4-band resistors, a gold or silver band is
always the last band.
Sir if the resistor has 5 bands or if there is no
tolerance band the tolerance will be (+/-20%),
then the first band is the one located closest to the
lead.

(Teacher discuss 4-bands, 5-bands and tolerance

band) (Students listen to Teacher)

Converting the Nominal Resistance and Tolerance

into Color Code.

4-bands Resistor
1. Resistor with +/-5% and +/-10% Tolerance will
have 4- bands
2. Convert Nominal value to ohms (Ω)
3. 1st digit (from left to right) of nominal value =
1st color band
4. 2nd digit (from left to right) of nominal value =
2nd band
5. Number of zeros remaining = 3rd (multiplier)
band
6. Tolerance = 4th band

5-band Resistor
1. Resistor with +/-1% and +/-2% Tolerance will
have 5- bands
2. Convert Nominal value to ohms (Ω)
3. 1st digit (from left to right) of nominal value = 1st
color band
4. 2nd digit of nominal value = 2nd band
5. 3rd digit of nominal value = 3rd band
6. Number of zeros remaining = 4th (multiplier) band
7. Tolerance = 5th band

Tolerance Band

To calculate tolerance range

1. Determine the resistors stated resistance from
the color band
2. Multiply the stated resistance times (x) the
tolerance percentage.
3. Add and Subtract your tolerance figure from the
stated resistance to identify the acceptable
range.

Class I have here examples.

Maximum
154 Ω + 15.4 Ω = 169.4 Ω
Minimum
154Ω - 15.4 Ω = 138.6 Ω
