Study Notes

Resistor Color Coding

  • The color bands on the body of a resistor indicate the resistance value.
  • The last band on both 5-band and 4-band resistors indicates the tolerance value.

Determining Resistance Value

  • The resistance value of a resistor is determined by decoding the color bands.
  • Another way to determine the resistance value is by using a resistor value chart.

Resistance and Tolerance

  • Rmax represents the maximum resistance value, calculated by Rmax = R + (R * T), where T is the tolerance value.
  • The tolerance value can be found in the resistor tolerance chart.

Ohm's Law

  • Ohm's Law states that V (voltage) is equal to I (current) multiplied by R (resistance), or V = IR.
  • R (resistance) is expressed in ohms when V is in volts and I is in amperes.
  • The symbol for electrical resistance in electrical diagrams is R (omega).

Conductors and Insulators

  • Copper offers little resistance to the passage of current, making it a good conductor.
  • Insulators are materials that resist the flow of electric current.

Ohm's Investigation and Contributions

  • Ohm's investigation into electrical resistance led to the development of Ohm's Law.
  • The unit of electrical resistance, the ohm, is named after Georg Simon Ohm.

Other Key Facts

  • In Fig.(2), 'R' denotes the resistor.
  • The aim of the Ohm's Law experiment is to verify the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance.
