    Colour coding of Resistance
    1. Colour coding of Resistance

    The carbon resistance has normally four coloured rings bands $A, B, C$ and $D$.

     

    Colour bands A and B Indicates the decimal figure.

    Colour band C Indicates the decimal multiplier.

    Colour band D Indicates the tolerance in per cent about the indicated value. Tolerance represents the percentage accuracy of the indicated value.

    • To remember the sequence of colour code

    Tolerance of Gold is $\pm 5 \%$
    Tolerance of Silver is $\pm 10 \%$
    Tolerance if no colour $\pm 20 \%$
