This document discusses resistor color coding. It explains that resistors have their resistance value and tolerance indicated by colored bands that are read from left to right. The first band represents the first digit, second band the second digit, third band is the multiplier, and fourth band is the tolerance. Examples are provided of calculating the resistance value and tolerance range of sample resistors based on their color bands. In conclusion, using the color band system allows easy identification of a resistor's resistance value.

- 10. Saudi Aramco: Company General Use Tolerance From the resistor value: 39 kΩ +/- 10% The tolerance limits the resistance to: Minimum value: 39 kΩ - 10% = 35.1 kΩ Maximum value: 39 kΩ + 10% = 42.9 kΩ From the resistor value: 25 Ω +/- 10% The tolerance limits the resistance to: Minimum value: 25 Ω - 10% = 22.5 Ω Maximum value: 25 Ω + 10% = 27.5 Ω
- 11. Saudi Aramco: Company General Use Tolerance Question: Why does a resistor have tolerance? Ans.: There is no perfect resistor with an exact value. Resistors are manufactured in approximate values.
- 12. Saudi Aramco: Company General Use Review & Conclusion Review • Calculate the resistance of the sample resistors. Conclusion • You can calculate the resistance in a resistor just by using the color bands.
