good, question: how can i no the original value of the resistor be for checking it on the scale(multimeter)

YOKO hc commented on 24 May 2015

Sir does the resister have plosives or negative terminal? And which terminal need to connect on positive?

angelsphinx1 commented on 29 Nov 2014

Can you please mention the 3 colors of your resistor except on the 4th/last color which is gold?

Hi. Thanks for your visit. I am glad that my effort was helpful to you.

Thanks I needed that for a digital electronics class

2/0.06=33.(3)

Mark II commented on 12 Nov 2015

+DIY Projects Yeah.. was going to comment on that as well. So the real resistor value is actually 33.3 Ohms. Which is Mouser Electronics Part Number 71-CMF6033R300BHEB (33.3Ohms, 0.1% Tolerance, 1/2 Watt) Vishay Metal Film Resistor at $0.46 ea. Currently 705 in stock.//tinyurl.com/ngsx5c5Overall, good video though (+1 : 7)

DIY Projects commented on 09 Feb 2015

at 5:13 i say let calculate a little bit .I said loud and clear :100 divided by 0.02 and there for came up with 100 :))))I writte down 0.06 and i use 0.02 :)) you are 100% rigth and sorry about that.So real OHM value is 33 ohms.

Also handy -- //www.ledcalculator.net/

DIY Projects commented on 05 Jan 2015

+ndrthrdr1 Very handy but sometime you must use your head if you need the info in a situation where you dont have internet or power and the grid is of.you better learn.But you are right,its better to remember where to look,if you can.

When we connect resisters in series...then we say that same Amount of current flow through the Circuit...... Suppose we have 2 resisters connected in series in a circuit...when current start to flow(suppose from -ve terminal) and goes through first resister,now some energy must be used by first resister...now how can the same energy be transmitted to the 2nd one!!??? how is the current constant>??as some energy is used by the 1st one..!! If any 1 knows about it...Reply me.

Jamie Dawson commented on 13 Sep 2012

So I just discovered your channel and I really enjoy it. You do a fantastic job at explaining this stuff. Just wondering, have you ever considered getting into "Circuit Bending" or maybe even building homemade Drone synths or Guitar Pedals? I've spent a good deal of time searching up tutorial videos on building those things but they're usually poorly produced and unhelpful.

retrodj1000 commented on 04 Nov 2012

@thenewboston hey dude this is a very good tutorial about resistance but I have a big problem my tv power board dosent work and I am trying to change the resistors but some resistor are big and other are small does the zise of the resistor matters .,thanks for the video........

MJ commented on 06 Dec 2010

For all you guys having trouble remembering the table or are still looking of a "cheat sheet", I wrote a free program to help you out. Here is the link to the quick tutorial on how to use the program. The download link is in the description. youtube.com/watch?v=nolRA9ZmK-U

yrofbar commented on 12 Oct 2011

hello sir...may i ask something, what if the resistor has a 5th or 6th band... for example, the resistor has a 2 gold color bands or 1 silver and 1 gold color band after the multiplier band, what is value of the 2 bands? it is still the tolerance both of them?

George Chan commented on 10 Apr 2010

@tajiknomi ... current means the rate of change of charges passing through the resistors, which doesn't say anything about the energy lost through the resistors in series...so the current kept constant within a In-series circuit is nothing odd..

realbustylatinas commented on 15 Feb 2010

How do you know which band is the first? Couldnt the first gold band be the first one? I just built my first device today. It was a sound amplifier I got at Fys for $10. Pretty cool for a newbie.

debater96 commented on 07 Jul 2010

What are some times that you would use a resistor for? Is it like when you have a battery that gives 9V but the component only need 6V to function? Is that when you would use a resistor?

D2DAJIZZELLE commented on 04 Nov 2011

i have a 4.9v supply and 13 leds i need to run in circuit. which resistor should i use? in colour band order pls as ime going to salvage one from another board thnx

tmntfreak1 commented on 23 Jun 2010

Thank you so much for this video!! I was trying to figure out how to read resistors from books but couldn't figure it out. Now I see how easy it really is! Thanks!

ohm9917 commented on 31 Jul 2012

we can know as there is last 4th band which is used to find tolerance of resistor which is available only in two colour i.e. golden n silver ..got it!

Flying Karapet commented on 21 Aug 2010

I have Green Blue Gold and silver in that order dose that mean i would have to divide 56 by 10 and have a 5.6 ohm resistor with a 10% tollerance???

Abhirup Chakraborty commented on 17 Mar 2011

Amazing video :D Only that I have just found out, that the black color doesn't hold any tolerance. While Brown = 1% and Red = 2%

Ben Harel commented on 05 Sep 2012

Hi!Great tutorial. But I have one question,under Gold Multiplier,what does the :10 mean? Do I need to divide to tolerance by 10?

Brett Duffy commented on 24 Jun 2010

im confused, so does it matter witch end goes to were like if there power is going to the gold to the brown would it matter?

Yeahman Okaydat commented on 05 Sep 2010

@1800Supreme Yes because you have to divide by 10 for the third band since its gold (as indicated by the chart) good luck!

Anon386632 commented on 14 Sep 2011

@RayHagler66 lol what's the difference? im pretty sure everybody knows how to multiply by 10's unless they're retarded.

What's not to get? Anyone at a 5th grade math level would get this. Which part of this do you see as diffucult?

babydash123 commented on 26 Aug 2011

thanks so friggin much, REALLY NEEDED THIS FOR MY SCHOOL PROJECT D::DD::D:D

Petit Lweno commented on 16 Jul 2010

so gold and silver do not represent the values , and that is the way to know which side is which ???

Anon386632 commented on 14 Sep 2011

and now i know. i was like "how the fuck do i tell a 12000 ohm resistor from a 100 ohm resistor?"

ohm9917 commented on 31 Jul 2012

if u want to remember we can remember by method as shown...:B B Roy Goes Bombay Via Gate Way..

kempsta7 commented on 11 Dec 2011

HELP PLEASE. I have the sets of resistors u shown 1st m this video. How can I get 1.472 OHM??

nextblain commented on 11 Nov 2012

do not click this comment series, its long and boring, just watch the damm video scroll up.
