Resistor and their colour code

Standard Resistor Values and Color 

resistor color code are as follows


The colors brown, red, green, blue, and violet are used as tolerance codes on 5-band resistors only. All 5-band resistors use a colored tolerance band. The blank (20%) “band” is only used with the “4-band” code (3 colored bands + a blank “band”).

Example #1



A resistor colored Yellow-Violet-Orange-Gold would be 47 kΩ with a tolerance of +/- 5%.

Example #2



A resistor colored Green-Red-Gold-Silver would be 5.2 Ω with a tolerance of +/- 10%.

Example #3



A resistor colored White-Violet-Black would be 97 Ω with a tolerance of +/- 20%. When you see only three color bands on a resistor, you know that it is actually a 4-band code with a blank (20%) tolerance band.

Example #4



A resistor colored Orange-Orange-Black-Brown-Violet would be 3.3 kΩ with a tolerance of +/- 0.1%.

Example #5



A resistor colored Brown-Green-Grey-Silver-Red would be 1.58 Ω with a tolerance of +/- 2%.

Example #6



A resistor colored Blue-Brown-Green-Silver-Blue would be 6.15 Ω with a tolerance of +/- 0.25%.

How DC motor works and control.

Introduction to DC motors A DC motor is an electric motor that converts direct current electrical energy into mechanical energy. They operate based on the principle of "Force acting on a coil of wire in a magnetic field". This principle states that when a current-carrying conductor is placed in a magnetic field, the conductor experiences a mechanical force. The direction of this force is determined by Fleming's left-hand rule, and the magnitude of the force can be expressed as:                   F= B*I*L ( in newtons) where  F- force(newtons) B- magnetic field (Tesla) I- Current ( Ampere) L- Length of the conductor. According to Fleming's left-hand rule, the direction of the force is perpendicular to both the conductor and the magnetic field.   Tip: if the direction of current flow is reversed, the direction of rotation of the motor changes also. Controlling DC motors DC motors find use in various applications where ope...

Astable multivibrator

Astable multivibrator Astable Multivibrators are free running oscillators which oscillate between two states continually producing two square wave output waveforms.            Introduction  Regenerative switching circuits such as  Astable Multivibrators   are the most commonly used type of relaxation oscillator because not only are they simple, reliable and ease of construction they also produce a constant square wave output waveform. Unlike the Monostable Multivibrator or the Bistable Multivibrator we looked at in the previous tutorials that require an “external” trigger pulse for their operation, the  Astable Multivibrator  has automatic built in triggering which switches it continuously between its two unstable states both set and reset. The  Astable Multivibrator  is another type of cross-coupled transistor switching circuit that has  NO  stable output states as it changes from one state to the other all ...

Waveform Generator

Electrical waveform  Electronic systems use an extremely wide variety of signal waveform types and shapes from sinusoidal to those created by waveform generators In the  Oscillators   tutorials we saw that an oscillator is an electronic circuit used to generate a continuous output signal. Generally this output signal is in the form of a sinusoid at some predetermined frequency or wavelength set by the resonant components of the circuit. We also saw that there are many different types of oscillator circuits available but generally they all consist of an amplifier and either an Inductor-Capacitor, ( LC ) or Resistor-Capacitor, ( RC ) tank circuit used to produce a sine wave type output signal. Typical Electrical Waveform But sometimes in electronic circuits we need to produce many different types, frequencies and shapes of  Signal Waveforms  such as Square Waves, Rectangular Waves, Triangular Waves, Sawtoothed Waveforms and...
