(A) Identification of carbon resistors from colour codes.


Carbon resistors are the most widely used fixed resistors in descrete circuits. Resistances
of this type are available in the range from few ohms to hundred megaohms and typical
power ratings of 1/8 watt to 2 watts. Due to their small size it becomes difficult to read
the value of their resistance and tolerance printed on them. Hence to indicate the
resistance and tolerance, resistors are coded with colour bands and they are universally
accepted. Generally four colour bands and sometimes five colour bands are used as
shown in fig 1 and 2 respectively.

First two bands (A and B) denote the first and second digit of resistance value and the
third band ( C ) indicates how many zeroes follow the first two digits. Tolerance is given
by the fourth band (D). See table -1.
For example, a resistor with following colour bands sequence

Yellow- Violet- Orange- Gold

Denotes a 47000  with  5%tolerance resistor.
