5. 1. First color band is green, table value: 5
2. Second color band is blue, table value: 6
Value after first and second color band: 56
3. Third color is yellow, table value (multiplier): 10KΩ
56 x 10KΩ = 560 KΩ
4. Fourth color is gold, indicating the tolerance (how much more/less
can the actual resistance of the resistor can be used for): ±5%
Decoding a Resistor Color Band
6.
7. 1.To determine the lower range used:
Lower Limit = coded value - the product of the
coded value and tolerance
2. To determine the higher range used:
Upper Limit = coded value + the product of
the coded value and tolerance
RESISTANCE RANGE
9. RESISTANCE IN PARALLEL
CIRCUIT
TOTAL RESISTANCE
•1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3
• If you only have two resistors of equal values, total
resistance = half of resistor value
•If you were to continue adding resistors, total
resistance will drop due to its inverse relationship.
