 What is It

MENSURATION AND CALCULATION

Electronics is a branch of technology that deals with many applications. Audio

electronics, video electronics, digital, medical up to weapons and banking are covered by
the influence of electronics. To name a few these electronic components are resistors,
capacitors, inductors and semi-conductors.

Types of Resistors

a. Wire Wound/Precision Resistor

b. Film

c. Resistor in band /Carbon-composition resistor

d. Variable resistor (Slide type)

e. Variable resistor (rotary type)

 The most used electronic component in the field are known as resistors. Resistor is
a discrete component that offers opposition to the flow of the current. Resistors have
different types in accordance with the material used like carbon-composition and the wire-
wound resistor. According to construction, we have the fixed resistor and the variable
resistor.

Resistors are very common and are the cheapest electronic component in the
market for so many years. Their features are so interesting and are very colorful. That is
why resistors are very popular among students studying electronics.

One distinct feature of this resistance – giving component is the way its value is
determined. It uses a set of color codes which follows a code for its assumed resistance
expressed in OHMS.

RESISTOR COLOR CODING CHART

Note:

For a 4 band resistor first color represent the first band, second color represents the
second band, third color represents the multiplier and the fourth color represents the
tolerance.

For a 5 band resistor firs color represesnts the first band, second color represents the
second band, third color represents the third band, fourth color represents the multiplier
and the fifth color represents the tolerance.

Example:

Brown – Black – Brown – Gold

1 0 x 10Ω ±5%

10 x 10Ω ±5% = 100Ω ±5%

Resistor color coded value is not absolute. The real resistance of the resistor is
sometimes lower or higher than its color coded value but not to exceed its tolerance level.

Tolerance is the limit on how far the real value of the resistor can deviate from its
color coded value. It can be more or less but subjected to a tolerable limit.

In the color coding chart there is a colum for tolerance. Color gold is + or – 5%,
silver is + or – 10%, and the no color means + or – 20%.

Procedure in interpreting the tolerance of resistor.

1. Identify the tolerance color of the resistor being analyzed. Assuming the color is
gold which has the value of + or – 5%
2. Convert the percentage into its decimal equivalent. 5% is equivalent to 0.05
3. Compute for the percentage of the color coded value. Assuming that the color
coded value is 100Ω ±5%

So 100Ω ±5% = 100Ω ±0.05

100 Ω x 0.05 = 5

4. For the + side, add 5 to the color coded value of 100

100 Ω + 5 = 105Ω
105Ω is the MAXIMUM deviation of that resistor. Beyond that, the resistor will
not be fitted for the circuit which requires such tolerance.
 5. For the – side, subtract 5 to the color coded value of 100
100 Ω – 5 = 95 Ω
95 Ω will be the MINIMUM deviation for that particular resistor. Far beyond that
the resistor will be considered to be defective.
11. Finally the value the resistor with colors BROWN-BLACK-BROWN-GOLD is
100Ω with deviations of +5 or -5. (95 Ω – 105 Ω)
