    Worksheet - Resistor Color Codes

    The Resistor Color Code The general purpose carbon film resistors which are used in electrical
    and electronic circuits are marked using a four colored bands system. The 4th color band
    indicates the resistor’s tolerance and is normally gold. This means that the resistor is within 5%
    plus or minus of the marked value. A silver 4th color band indicates a 10% tolerance. The first
    three bands determine the value of the resistor. The first two bands determine the value of the
    resistor and the third band determines the multiplier for the first two digits (as shown in the
    figure below). Simply stated, the value of the third band determines the number of zeros to add to
    the first two color values.

    The purpose of this worksheet is to help review your understanding of resistor color codes.
    Complete the following exercises and submit them for grading.

    1st Band 2nd Band 3rd Band 4th Band Value Tolerance

    Green Red Brown Silver

    Blue Gray Black Red

    Brown Orange Orange Gold

    Yellow Green Black Gold

    Violet Yellow Red Silver

    Using the color chart above, decode the value of the following resistors and indicate the
    tolerance:
    1. Brown, Black, Red, Gold. _____________________
    2. Yellow Violet, Yellow, Gold. ______________________
    3. Brown, Black, Green, Gold. ______________________
    4. Blue, Grey, Black, Gold. ______________________
    5. Orange, White, Orange, Gold. ______________________

    What are the color bands on the following value resistors all of which have a 5% tolerance?
    1. 22 k Ω ___________________________________________________________
    2. 10 Ω ___________________________________________________________
    3. 10 k Ω ___________________________________________________________
    4. 470 kΩ __________________________________________________________
    5. 33 kΩ ___________________________________________________________
