Resistor Color Code Experiment 2 Name_____________________ Date____________________ This lab is an option to the lab in your official lab manual. This lab can be completed with the attached online materials. Objectives: Learn Resistor Color Code Determine the stated value of a resistor by interpreting the color code indicated on the resistor. Text Reference Section 3.3 electronic Components Materials Required Picture of Resistors at this Link Introduction: For this experiment you will determine the value and tolerance of the resistors at the link by properly interpreting the color code. The procedure is outlined in Chapter 3 section 3. A table of values is available in your text and a color code calculator is available. However if you plan to work in electronics you should be able to evaluate a resistor value without a table or calculator. Procedures: View the resistors at the Link and based on the color bands determine its value. Below is an example Table 2-1 Band Color Code Numeric Value 1st Band Brown 1 2nd Band Black 0 3rd Band Orange 103 4th Band Gold ±5% The Resistor Value is 10K The tolerance is ±5% The first band is a one (1), the second band is a zero (0), and the multiplier band or third band is one time text to the third power (103) or one thousand (1000). Multiply 10 times 1000; the example resistor in table 2-1 is a 10 KΏ resistor. ____________________________________________Determine the value and tolerance of the 10 resistors at the link and document in the following tables Table 2-2 Band Color Code Numeric Value 1st Band 2nd Band 3rd Band 4th Band The Resistor Value is____________ The Tolerance is ______% Table 2-3 Band Color Code Numeric Value 1st Band 2nd Band 3rd Band 4th Band The Resistor Value is____________ The Tolerance is ______% Table 2-4 Band Color Code Numeric Value 1st Band 2nd Band 3rd Band 4th Band The Resistor Value is____________ The Tolerance is ______% Table 2-5 Band Color Code Numeric Value 1st Band 2nd Band 3rd Band 4th Band The Resistor Value is____________ The Tolerance is ______%Table 2-6 Band Color Code Numeric Value 1st Band 2nd Band 3rd Band 4th Band The Resistor Value is____________ The Tolerance is ______% Table 2-7 Band Color Code Numeric Value 1st Band 2nd Band 3rd Band 4th Band The Resistor Value is____________ The Tolerance is ______% Table 2-8 Band Color Code Numeric Value 1st Band 2nd Band 3rd Band 4th Band The Resistor Value is____________ The Tolerance is ______% Table 2-9 Band Color Code Numeric Value 1st Band 2nd Band 3rd Band 4th Band The Resistor Value is____________ The Tolerance is ______% Table 2-10 Band Color Code Numeric Value 1st Band 2nd Band 3rd Band 4th Band The Resistor Value is____________ The Tolerance is ______%Table 2-11 Band Color Code Numeric Value 1st Band 2nd Band 3rd Band 4th Band The Resistor Value is____________ The Tolerance is
