Resistor color code and its reading example set 3
Read resistor color code from real resistor
These are photo of resistor with label to present 10 Ohm 100 Ohm 220 Ohm 1K 10K 100K colour code resistor and more. For rechecking and confirm value of resistor. Many time we have question about lavue of resistor and we use a few method to find the resistor value such as test it by multimeter , seek manual and label on PCB , and compare color code with the good one.
