Question

What do you mean by colour code of carbon resistance ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The resistance value and tolerance can be determined from the standard resistor color code. ... In that case the first three bands indicate the first three digits of the resistance value and the fourth band indicates the number of zeros. In the five band code the fifth band is gold for 1% resistors and silver for 2%.

Answer 2

The color band that is present on the resistors helps the user find their resistance value.

• There will be four colors using which the resistance is calculated.
• The first two colors on the color band denote the resistance value.
• The third color is the multiplier.
• The fourth and final color gives the tolerance value.
• To calculate the resistance value, we have to hold the resistor in such a way that the tolerance band is on the right.
• This tolerance band is mostly in either gold or silver color and is placed after a small gap away from the other three bands.
• We start reading from the leftmost color band.
