I use a diagram that I put together to help explain how the color
code for 4 or 5 band resistors is read.

Thanks, for the vid. At first, I thought that I was supposed to sum up the first three colors on the resistor and I was wondering why the values on the package were different from my 'calculations'. Now, it's all clear!
Glad it helped, it is confusing at first, thanks for watching!
Thanks and i love the way you explain here some dessert❤️👑
Thanks! That 5-band system had me flummoxed, me being an old-timer and all!!
I need a magnifier these days, for those 1/8th watt resistors which are so tiny. I also got a microscope for the SMD stuff!
Great educational video. What easy acronyms to remember the color codes?
Nicely informed. Very good
Thank you!
now I learned to never buy resistors again with narrow stripes.
Thanx for the video!
Thank for watching!
Is your color chart available to purchase? Like a laminated copy? I only have a antique black laser printer.
No sorry. I just post online.
Very Good explain
Thank you for watching!
nice video american you have earn yourselft a subscriber !
Great! Thanks!
I have a receiver with DVD player that has a bad resistor. I know the ohms by reading the bands but how do i get the others numbers so I can buy the correct resistor watts? Pls help me.
Wattage of a resistor is mostly based on size. So I am guessing that a resistor of the same size will be just fine wattage wise. Especially if it is a higher value resistor.
Umm what happen if i add different color code on my board ? I have a broken power supply that the resistor broken,i have a different resistor on other broken board that has different colour,but the line have 5. Is it ok?
Depends on their values and the circuit.
How to solve it when it has 2 tolerance?
Where can I print the diagram you have in the video?

Thank u very much..
Thank you!
Hello . can you help me what is the resistor r 8 in milwakuee charger green brown black yellow silver. Thank you
Sounds like 510 with 4 more zeros, so 5,100,000 ohms and 10 percent tolerance.
what color in the color coding has an equivalent of 6 in the second bond?
blue
How do you know from what end you start reading?
The tolerance band goes on the right. Which is easy when it is a gold band, such as the beige resistors usually have. Unfortunately the blue resistor's brown 1% tolerance band can get confusing if the first digit is also brown. Hopefully the tolerance band is spaced farther away from the other colors, but I often can't tell if it is. If you have to deal with a couple values which have mirror images of color, then you'd probably have to use a multimeter to measure them.
@@Electronzap but the multimeter shows nothing..i mean if resistor cut out inside...and shows no resistance on multimeter.plz guide
What will be the value of digit and multiplier if the 3rd and 4th is gold
If the last band is gold (typically 4 band beige resisistors), that means it has a 5% tolerance rating. If the second to last band is gold, that means you take the number from the digits and multiply it by 0.1 to get the value in ohms.
Plz i need help...plz find me five band resistance value...grey-red-gold-gold-black. Tq.
BUT HOW DO YOU TELL WHICH IS THE FIRST STRIPE?
If it isn't brown or gold, then it is probably the first band. If both ends are brown, hopefully the first band is closer to the other bands than the tolerance band. Unfortunately, sometimes it's hard to tell which is which if both ends are brown.
..helpful..
hi can i ask if its ok to change the resistor of my LM317 voltage regulator, cu'z i lost the 1k omhs the purple one and now i have the biege but it is 1k omhs also
is it possible?
Long as they are the same size, it doesn't matter. They will have the same resistance and wattage. The beige ones might not be quite as close to the rated value indicated by the color code, but that usually doesn't matter in most circuits.
@@Electronzap thank u ill try it now
I had a question I'm replacing resistors on an old vintage radio from the '60s it's a walkie-talkie and most of the resistors the and color is silver for 10% can I use a 5% instead cuz I'm having a hard time finding a 10% on eBay
Yeah, you can always use a lower tolerance resistor.
@@Electronzap thank you I really appreciate the reply I am still learning about electronics your video was also helpful one thing I do know is you have to have a lot of patience
@@joemazza1011 No problem, thanks for watching, and have fun learning!
Plz i need help...plz find me five band resistance value...grey-red-gold-gold-black. Tq.
I suspect that the black band at the end represent something other than tolerance. I'd post a picture of it to the ask electronics subreddit on reddit. Multiple people usually recognize unusual components there.
@@Electronzap give me wasap so that i send u a snap shot of this reaistance..actually the resistor has cut inside and it show no readings on multimeter.
Show 👍🇧🇷
By the way. Like the video
Glad to hear! Thanks!
Could you please send that book
I draw every diagram I use in my videos. I haven't started compiling them into book form yet.
biloxi booze rots our young guts but vodka goes well!
Not bad but do explain color to number as in the list next time
I'll try
thank you very much for the video.
today i open one ballast, i find weird resistance, the color code is, (orange, withe, gold,gold,black)
drive.google.com/file/d/1FWmr_52j6PyWr2s_LK8AOfj_eOLj5kix/view?usp=drivesdk
i cant calculate this, hope you have idea?!
I could do some googling and make a guess, but I'd suggest posting that image with as much extra detail you know about where it came from to reddit. I think the subreddit I usually browse is called askelectronics or something similar. Someone will probably know that resistor pretty well and give you an accurate answer. I'm guessing that the black band has an additional meaning to it than the standard color code and tolerance.
@@Electronzap thank you very much for your fast reply, this is where i take out this resistance drive.google.com/file/d/1FlEVgjAOEhmmRb4R10K7vXWdCkEWMpiM/view?usp=drivesdk
NONE of these videos are making sense ..everybody is saying differtstiff I still can't find these 2 values. ..green,black,gold,brown,black ....and black, green, silver,gold black ..even my electrical blackbook I can't work it out
That doesn't sounds like regular resistors. I'd take a picture and post it to a subreddit on reddit. I think there's a subreddit called askelectronics.
to remember the colors one code is their (BBROY great Britan having good wife)
Indeed :D
