Experiment#01 (Colour Coding of Resistors)

The document describes an applied physics experiment to identify resistors and capacitors using color codes. It provides the resistor color code guide and capacitor letter codes table to define the values corresponding to different color band combinations. It also explains the inductors color code and provides an example to demonstrate how to read the value from the color bands.

Fig 3.4.1 Four Band Standard EIA Colour Code For Inductors.

Values are in micro Henries (μH)


First two digits are the value
Third digit is the multiplier
If there is an R, its acts as a decimal point, and
there is no multiplier
Examples: Band 1 2 3 4
101 = 10*101μH = 100μH
4R7 = 4.7μH
Multiplier (No. of Tolerance
Suffix Meaning 1st Digit 2nd Digit
zeros)
Sometimes the precision of the inductor will be

marked, using a final letter F, G, J, K, or M
F = +/-1% x 0.1 (divide by
Gold +/-5%
G = +/-2% 10)
J = +/-5%
K = +/-10% x 0.01 (divide by
Silver +/-10%
M = +/-20% 100)

Black 0 0 x1 (No Zeros) +/-20%

Brown 1 1 x10 (0)
