You should be able to interpret the resistor colour coding to determine the amount of current (ohms) that a resistor can handle. Every resistor has a colour band wrapped around the centre that tells us how much current the resistor can handle in ohms. Different colour bands represent different resistor current handling capacities. Understanding the colour bands should so aid us in selecting the appropriate resistors. A 100 Ohm resistor, for example, has a colour band of brown, black, brown, and gold, in that order from left to right. A 1k resistor colour code includes the colours brown, black, red, and gold. Not all resistors have 4-band colour codes, and some have 5-band colour codes.
1k resistor colour code decoding
The first colour of a 4-band 1k ohm resistor colour coding is brown, followed by black, then brown again, and finally gold. Although resistors have no polarity and can be used in any direction in a circuit, evaluating the resistor's current handling capability is critical for selecting the correct one. This is why you must comprehend the importance of the resistor colours. The arrangement of the colours at a glance aids in understanding the overall current handling capacity, while analysing each colour aids in understanding the particular qualities
of resistors.
