2.What do the four bands on a carbon composition resistor represent?

• The first band closest to the end of the resistor ,represents the first digit of the
resistor value .
• The second band represents the second digit of the resistor value
• The third band represents the number of zeros to be added to the first two
digits
• The fourt band represents the tolerance of the resistor

3. Decode the following resistors:

1st Band 2nd Band 3rd Band 4th Band

a. Brown Black Red Silver
b. Blue Green Orange Gold
c. Orange White Yellow (None)
d. Red Red Red Silver
e. Yellow Violet Brown Gold

Answer:

1st Band 2nd Band 3rd Band 4th Band

a.Brown-1 Black-0 Red-00 Silver-10%
b.Blue-6 Green-5 Orange-000 Gold-5%
c.Orange-3 White-9 Yellow-0.000 (None)-20%
d.Red-2 Red-2 Red-00 Silver-10%
e.Yellow-4 Violet-7 Brown-0 Gold-5%

4. What does a fifth band on a resistor indicate?

Answer: The fifth band indicates the reliability of the resistor .It tells how many of the resistor
(per thousand) will fail after 100 hours of operation .Generally when there are five bands on a
resistor, the same amount of body color shows at each end.
