Appendix B: Resistor Color Code
Resistor Color Code
Most common types of resistors have colored bands that indicate their value. The
resistors that we’re using in this series of experiments are typically “1/4 watt, carbon
film, with a 5% tolerance”. If you look closely at the sequence of bands you’ll notice that
one of the bands (on an end) is gold. This is band #4, & the gold color designates that it
has a 5% tolerance.
The resistor color code is an industry standard in recognizing the value of resistance of a
resistor. Each color band represents a number and the order of the color band will
represent a number value. The first two color bands indicate a number. The third color
band indicates the multiplier or in other words the number of zeros. The fourth band
indicates the tolerance of the resistor +/- 5, 10 or 20 %.
