6. STEPS IN DETERMINING THE VALUE
OF THE COLOR CODED RESISTOR
• Hold the resistor. Look for
the 3 colors which they are
near on each other. Place it
on your left side.

7. •Look for the 1st color.
The first color represents
to the 1st significant digit
of the resistor.

8. •Look for the 2nd color.
The second color
represents to the 2nd
significant digit.

9. •Look for the third color.
The third color
represents to the
number of zeros.

10. •Look for the 4th color.
It represents to the
TOLERANCE of the
resistor.
