Resistor Color Code Quiz and Test
In resistor color codes, the color violet represents the digit 7. It is used in the band representing significant figures or in the tolerance or temperature coefficient .
For a six-band resistor with colors Green, Blue, Black, Orange, Violet, Brown, the calculation is as follows: Green represents 5, Blue 6, and Black 0, forming 560. Orange indicates a multiplier of 1,000, resulting in 560kΩ. Violet is the tolerance band (±0.10%), and Brown represents the temperature coefficient (100ppm/°C).
The color code for a 5kΩ resistor with a tolerance of ±5% is Green, Black, Red, Gold .
A four-band resistor with color bands Green, Blue, Orange, and Gold has a value of 56kΩ with a tolerance of ±5%. Green represents 5, Blue 6, Orange is the multiplier (1,000), resulting in 56,000 or 56kΩ .
The sixth band in a six-band resistor color code represents the temperature coefficient. Its role is to indicate the resistor's change in resistance with temperature changes, measured in parts per million (ppm/°C). Common values include, but are not limited to, 100ppm/°C .
In a three-band resistor color code, the third band represents the multiplier, which is used to determine the resistor's value by multiplying the number formed by the first two bands by a power of ten specified by the third band .
In the multiplier band of a resistor, the color blue represents the multiplier value of 1,000,000 (1M).
The resistor value with the first three color bands Red, Black, and Orange is 20kΩ. Red represents 2, Black 0, and Orange is the multiplier (1,000), resulting in 20,000 or 20kΩ .
A grey color in the tolerance band indicates a tolerance of ±0.05% .
The color code for a five-band resistor with a value of 333kΩ and a tolerance of ±5% is Orange, Orange, Orange, Orange, Gold .
