EXAMPLE:
If the 1
st
band is ORANGE and the 2
nd
band is GREEN and the 3
rd
band is RED and the 4
th
band is GOLD then:
ORANGE 1
st
band=3, GREEN 2
nd
band=5, RED 3
rd
band=100, GOLD 4
th
band=5% so:
35X100=3500 RESISTOR VALUE IS 3500 OHMS WITH A TOLERANCE OF 5%.
TROUBLESHOOTING RESISTORS:
Troubleshooting resistors is pretty straightforward. Resistors almost always open when they go bad. An open
resistor in a series circuit will stop current from flowing in the circuit. An open resistor in a parallel circuit will
increase the resistance and decrease the total current.
