One of the first things you learn in electronics is how to identify a resistor’s value. Through-hole resistors have color codes, and that’s generally where beginners begin. But why are they ...

As explained by Arduino to Go, each color band on the resistor corresponds to a number but this can differ depending on the band's placement. It's not complicated, but the sheer number of colors ...

Resistor Color Codes, Chart, Resistance Calculator Why resistor color codes? Circular banded components are visible from all directions and angles while ...

This is part of Electronic Design's 70th Anniversary series. Color coding is a common way to provide easy identification of characteristics like the resistance value of a resistor.

"I was talking to Mat Metts about fun ways to read resistor color codes." Metts created a delightful double resistor poster.
