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 ...

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. Electronic ...

This is a handy resistor colour code “calculator” that doesn’t need power supply or to be installed on a PC. As you know most resistors use coloured bands in order to show their value. So basically ...
