.Key featuresEnter the color of your resistor and Resistor Color Code will manage to provide you the matching value. Most of the time, such values have to be memorized and if you do not get used to these items yet, using this software will surely help you. Inversely, you can use Resistor Color Code to get the right rings' color for a resistor given value. An established electric circuit and only the resistor spot are empty then; the software gives you to right resistor color to use.
How to Read Color Codes From Resistors.: The value of the resistor is marked on the body using colors. Every color is different number and you can remember these numbers or you can just use the table on next step. OR there are much resistor calculators that you can use. It's for the lazi. A resistor is a perhaps the most common building block used in circuits. Resistors come in many shapes and sizes this tool is used to decode information for color banded axial lead resistors. 4 Band Description. The number of bands is important because the decoding changes based upon the number of color bands.
Thanks to its functionality, Resistor Color Code does not come with a GUI overwhelmed by bulky menus nor with tabs and options to hassle through. In the contrary, results are clearly indicated.Pros Resistor Color Code is easy to use.
It will suit any users' needs with minimum skills in electronic matters. You can download and use it for free.

OR there are much resistor calculators that you can use. It's for the laziest people:D.
However it's your decision,and I will show you all ways to calculate resistor value. ColorsHere is the table with the colors and numbers. As you can see they are:. BLACK: 0. BROWN: 1.
![Code Code](/uploads/1/2/5/4/125480504/199701875.png)
RED: 2. ORANGE: 3. YELLOW: 4. GREEN: 5. BLUE: 6. VIOLET: 7.
GREY: 8. WHITE: 9But this is not for all colors.
From right to left the second color is multiplier. Digits from the first colors must be multiplied with the number of this color. BLACK: 1. BROWN: 10. RED: 100. ORANGE: 1000. YELLOW: 10000.
GREEN: 100000. BLUE: 1000000. GOLD: 0.1. SILVER: 0.01And the last color: This is tolerance. Tolerance is the precision of the resistor and it is given as a percentage. For example a 390 resistor with a tolerance of ±10% will have a value within 10% of 390, between 390 - 39 = 351 and 390 + 39 = 429 (39 is 10% of 390).
BROWN: 1%. RED: 2%. GOLD: 5%.
SILVER: 10%. NOTHING: 20%CalculatorIf you are too lazy to think about colors and digits and mat. This is for you:):D ExamplesExemple: If first color is RED,second is RED,third is BLACK and the last is SILVER it means:RED - 2 - RED - 2 - YELLOW - x10000 - SILVER - 10% so.2 2 0000 +/- 10%. 2 2 0000 so.:D220000 +/- 22000This is 220 000 Ohm or 220 kOhmor 220 000 - 22 000 Ohm or 220 - 22 kOhmor 220 000 + 22 000 Ohm or 220 + 22 kOhmHope you got it:) ExercisesNow some exercises:)Try to calculate resistors' values from third and forth picture.Answers are below.

AnswersThe first one is: 11000 = 11k ohmsThe second one is: 1000 = 1k ohmsThe both are with gold color for the tolerance,it means 5%.It's your answer? Hey, I can answer that question for you, if you haven't found your answer quite yet.
The tolerance band should be on the far right when you are looking at it. It could be Gold(5%) or Silver(10%). This means it should be xcolour, ycolour, zcolour and then your gold or silver tolerance band when you look at it. This way it is consistent and is facing the right way in order to measure the resistance when going to calculate it. As for putting your resistor in a circuit, well resistors are not polarized, therefore you can put them in any way.
