Resistor Color Code Guide

Resistors are electronic components that limit or resist the flow of current. They are commonly made from carbon composition and their resistance can be varied by changing the ratio of carbon to binding agent. Resistance is measured in ohms. Resistor color coding uses colored bands to indicate the resistor's value and tolerance. A 4-band resistor has one band each for the first digit, second digit, multiplier, and tolerance. Mnemonics like "Better Be Right Or Your Great Big Values Go Wrong" help remember the color code.

• Resistors are one of the most common
electronic components. A resistor is a device
that limits or resists the flow of current.
Resistor can be made from many different
materials but the most common is carbon
composition. The current limiting ability or
resistance can be varied by charging the ratio
of carbon to binding agent. Resistance is
measured in ohms, represented by the Greek
symbol omega (Ω).
