Younger electronic engineers may see resistors with old-style color codes to display their values a little less than those from previous years, but if there’s a shibboleth among those who wield a ...

I once worked with an engineer that often checked his resistors with a multimeter before use. I just assumed that he was just being careful (certainly more careful than I…). Then one day, he asked me ...

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 marked ...

As a young techie, learning resistor colour codes was a big deal – a big accomplishment. Are you young whippersnappers of today following suit? I remember my earliest youthful forays into ...
