What is resistor
Resistor is an electrical device that resists the flow of electrical
current A current flowing through a resistance willcreate a voltage
drop across that resistance and convertselectrical energy directly
to heat.There are two types of resistors-fixed and variable.
A fixed resistor has a fixed value of ohms while a variableresistor
is adjustable.
Fixed resistor
Variable resistor
Resister color code
.................................................................................................
Black = 0 , Brown = 1 , Red =2 , Orange = 3 , Yellow =4
Green = 5 , Blue = 6 , Violet = 7 , Gray = 8 , White=9
................................................................................................
Tolerance band
...............................................................................................
Brown = 1% , Red = 2% , Gold = 5% , Silver = 10% , None = 20%

How to read the resister color code
Values
= 1st Digit , 2st Digit , multiplier with “0” , % Tolerance
Example >> Brown - Red - Orange - Gold <<
Values = 12000 = 12KOhms Tolerance 5%

Resister surface mout code
Same above but change color with number last digit
is the multiplier
Example
104 = 100K Ohms , 472 = 4.7K Ohms
........................................................................................................
Resister BS 1852 Coding
You will see in variable resistor
- The letter R is used for Ohms
- The letter K used for Kohms
- The letter M used for Megohms
and placed where the decimal point would go
.At the end is a letter that represents tolerance
Where M=20%, K=10%, J=5%,G=2%, and F=1%
Example
R33 = 0.33 ohms
4M7 = 4.7M ohms
47K3F = 47.3 K Ohms 1%
