AIM:
To study the system of colour coding which is used
to indicate the resistance value of carbon resistors.
To measure the resistances of different resistors by
colour code system.
MATERIALS REQ UIRED:

1.Carbon resistors
Theory :-
The body colour of resistor indicates the first digit
of resistance, one end or tip indicates the second
digit and the dot colour near the center of the
resistor represents the number ofzeros following
the first two digits (fig 1)

Tip colour Body colour Dot colour


Fig. 1
The colour bands painted on the body of the
resistors indicate the values. The colour bands are
readfrom left to right from one end, which has the
band closure to it. (fig 2)
Significant digits No. of zeros or multiplier

1234
Colour bands
Fig. 2
The first three bands give the resistance value. The
first and second bands indicate the first and second
significant digits while the third band gives the number
ofzeros , which follows the first two digits. In case the
third band is gold or silver, it represents a multiplying
factor ofO.1 or 0.01 respectively. Ifhowever the third
band is black, it means, do not add zeros to the first
two digits. The resulting number is the resistance in
ohms.
The fourth band represents the error in value called
tolerance. If the fourth band is gold, it means a
tolerance of± 5%, where as fourth band is silver means
a resistance of tolerance of± 10% Absence offourth
band means a resistance of tolerance of± 20%.
The first three bands represent the usual resistance of
the resistor. The first and second bands indicate the
digits and the third band indicates the number ofzeros
following the two digits. The fourth band gives
tolerance. The fifth band gives reliability level.
The first band close to one edge indicates the first digit
in the numerical value ofthe resistor.
PROCEDURE
1. First the resistance of the given resistor is measured
according to the colour code system, including
tolerance
2. The values are to be noted in the in the table.

6 BROWN BLACK ORANGE GOLD 5%
7 YELLOW BLUE RED GOLD 5%
8 YELLOW BLACK ORANGE GOLD 5%
9 BROWN BLACK RED GOLD 5%

DIAGRAM:-

PRECAUTIONS : -
1) Care should be taken in deciding the first edge.
2) Tolerance can also be taken into consideration while
measuring resistance as per colour code.

SOURCE OF ERROR:-
1) Misinterpreting the colour bands due to similar
shades(e.g., confusion between red and brown).
2) Resistors have inherent tolerance values indicated by
the last colour band.
