Beginner Electronics - 5 - Resistors

*DISCLAIMER - READ BEFORE WATCHING* I am an electronics hobbyist; I do not have a degree in electrical engineering. This series MAY NOT teach all of the appropriate safety required for general electronics work. Any advice taken from this series should be checked with multiple sources, and a professional should be addressed to ensure proper safety.

Important note: Differentiate between capital and lowercase lettes to describe the numbers. 1 mOhm is actually equivalent to 0.001 Ohm, while 1 MOhm is equivalent to 1,000,000 Ohm

For everyone wondering which end to read resistors from I found this online which was helpful: How do I know which end of the resistor to start reading from? • Many resistors have some of the color bands grouped closer together or grouped toward one end. Hold the resistor with these grouped bands to your left. Always read resistors from left to right. • Resistors never start with a metallic band on the left. If you have a resistor with a gold or silver band on one end, you have a 5% or 10% tolerance resistor. Position the resistor with this band on the right side and again read your resistor from left to right. • Basic resistor values range from 0.1 Ohm to 10 Megaohms. With that knowledge, realize that on a four-band resistor the third color will always be blue (106) or less and on a five-band resistor, the fourth color will always be green (105) or less.

I'mean seriously impressed by your skill for teaching dude. Simple and clear. Very good!

You sir, are an inspiration for the rest of us wannabe electronics hobbyists. Clear and to the point explanations without too much technical mumbo jumbo. Thank you and keep up the good work.

how do you know what side of the resister to start reading the bands?

Thank you! Clearest video on resistors I've seen so far! Although, I'm not sure where to start reading. I know a gold or silver band goes on the right side, but as you probably know, not all resistors have a gold or silver band

Summary: - a resistor is a component that you can put into a circuit to provide additional resistance to the circuit - the color bands on a resistor tell you the strength of resistance (in ohms), which is usually a range (e.g. 10 ohms, plus or minus 1 ohm, means a range of 9-11 ohm)

Now were cookin!! i do electrical work and have hobby's dealing with repairing circuit boards. Your videos are really helping me learn electronics!! keep up the good work!! thanks a bunch!!

Just started watching these tutorials - very educational for me as a beginner - thanks so much for creating them as I appreciate it!!

THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO MAKE THESE VERY HELPFUL VIDEOS!! I have been interested in electronis for quite a while i would pick it up and drop it, but these vidieos might be the push i need to really get into it as much as i would love to. i recently ordred a nixie tube clock kit in the mail , the instructions might as well be writen in chinese. i look forward to learning more and eventually putting togather my clock without fear of burning my house down. you are a scholar and a gentleman! thank you again good sir.

It is no wonder you got into electronics with a name like CodeNMore. Excellent videos.

The way this guy teaches blows my mind. Respect and i believe you have nerver learn how to teach cause this way of teaching is gift from the must high. Best regards.

I was working with resistors and i need a really high resistance, i forgot i was colorblind so i grabbed what i thought was what i needed, but it was really low resistance and the resistor blew up. Lesson learned. I know double check w/ a multimeter

Is this guide going to be continued? I have found it to be very informative so far!

Your videos are a great help! I will definitely score great on the electronic part of the asvab!

This video was really good I tried to find so many videos but this one was the best!

Thank you! I really needed help to understand this clearly! This is helping me!

Thank you very much for sharing, I really learn new things such as looking at electricity as current through various sizes of pipe (resistance)from water tank , and today you teach me about meaning of colour of resistors which in the past I had no clue at all.

Thank you so much for your teaching! I can't wait to go to the next tutorial...
