In this video I explain how the resistor colour code works and how to decipher the three, four and five band resistors. These leaded electronic components are even now widely used and it is essential for anyone involved in electronics to understand this code.
I give an overview of the system, explains how it works and then give worked examples to show exactly how to approach each type of resistor.
In the video I also give some hints and tips on how to remember the colour code as well as some essential tips on the way to approach reading each type.
This video is perfect for electronics beginners, students, hobbyists and anyone who want sto learn resistor colour codes in a short amount of time. By the end of this video, you'll be able to identify and read resistor values with confidence. Watch now and become proficient in resistor colour coding in just two minutes.
