this
Activity No. 6
Objectives
:
:
Decoding and checking Resistor
Identify the Coded value
Compute the tolerance, Minimum & Maximum
Check resistor condition

Materials : 10pcs. Carbon type Resistor 1/2watts

Equipment : Multi-tester

Let’s follow this

1. Complete the Table 1 (column 2-4. The data is from previous activity.
2. Set the multi-tester to proper range, adjust the 0 ohm adjuster and check the
resistor.
3. Write the actual reading on column 5.
4. Compare the actual reading from the minimum and maximum resistance and
identify the condition of the resistor.

Let’s have some

review
1. What are the conditions of a resistor?
Low noise and stability with respect to temperature variations are standard
characteristics of Wire Wound Resistors. Resistance values are available from 0.1 up
to 100 kΩ, with accuracies between 0.1% and 20%.

2. How can you say that the resistor is low resistance?

In general you can call the resistance with magnitude in kilo ohms is high resistance.

3. How can you say that the resistor is high resistance?

Resistance is a measure of the opposition to current flow in an electrical circuit.
Resistance is measured in ohms, symbolized by the Greek letter omega
