 determine the value of a resistor using color coding.


APPARATUS

Resistors of different values, digital or Analog multimeter

THEORY

The electronic color code was developed in the early 1920s by the Radio Manufacturer's
Association, now part of Electronic Industries Alliance and was published as EIA-RS-279. The
current international standard is IEC 60062.

PROCEDURE

Consider the resistor as shown in the figure and follow the procedure given below.

1. First find the tolerance band, it will typically be gold (5%) and sometimes silver (10%). If
there is no color band then the tolerance will be 20%.

2. Starting from the other end, identify the first band - write down the number associated with
that color; in this case Blue is 6.
3. Now 'read' the next color, here it is red so write down a '2' next to the six. (You should have
'62' so far.)

4. Now read the third or 'multiplier exponent' band and write down that as the number of zeros.

5. In this example it is 2 so we get '6200' or '6,200'. If the 'multiplier exponent' band is Black (for
zero) don't write any zeros down.
6. Now set the knob of the multimeter as an ohmmeter with a suitable range. and connect the
leads of the multimeter to the two sides of the resistor and measure its value.
7. Compare the value measured using color coding table and that of multimeter and note down
the readings in the table given below.
PRECUATIONS

1. Check the working conditions of the components and measuring apparatus


before performing the experiment.
2. Note the values using the color-coding table carefully and accurately.
3. Select the ohmmeter function of the multimeter before measuring the
value of the resistors.
4. Make proper and firm connection of the multimeter’s connecting leads
with the terminals of the resistor for accurate measurement.

8 100±5% 95-105 98.8

 It is clearly shown that the value measured through digital


multimeter is within the range of resistance calculated from the
colour code.

Conclusion:
 From above done experiments and calculations, it is concluded that
we can calculate value of resistances using Colour Code
