☑ How To Read Resistor Voltage

You can simply wire your board according to the diagram wire colors dont matter but help with identification of purpose. So we can use a 25kw resistor as our r2 resistor with the r1 resistor being 10kw.

Resistor Color Code Resistor Guide

Usually the colored band at one end is closer to that end than is the.

How to read resistor voltage. Basic resistor values range from 01 ohm to 10 megaohms. Change orange to 3. Using kirchhoffs law for the left hand base loop.

The base voltage source vbb 3 v which is the battery. A series circuit is easy to identify. Reading the colors consider the resistor shown in figure ht4 3.

Decide which band is the first band. Assume vbe vb 07 v. Change brown to 1.

Position the resistor with this band on the right side and again read your resistor from left to right. The first step is to wire up the arduino to read voltage as determined by the resistance created by the photoresistor. Watch this video to learn more about how to read a resistor.

The relation of voltage to resistance and current is expressed by ohms law. Change the colors to numbers as follows. Black brown red orange yellow green blue violet gray and white3step 3 determine the coded number for the resistive value.

Decoding the nominal value of a resistor. In a series resistor circuit the sum of the voltage drops across each resistor will be equal to the voltage level of the power supply that they are powered by. 2 when calculating voltage it.

For example if a circuit contains a 5 volt battery connected to two resistors in series that have the same resistance value. Change black to 0. Calculate vr the base voltage across the resistor.

The colors seen could be any of the following. The current is always the same at any point along the circuit. Its just one loop of wire with everything arranged in a row.

To make reading instructions easier to understand resistor images are magnified greatly in this how to. So its easy to see now how any voltage can be obtained with a resistor voltage divider circuit. See this and over.

To check calculations for voltage dividers see the voltage divider calculator. Change red to 2. 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.

Understand a series circuit. Step 1 position the resistor with the gold or silver color band to the right. Remember an actual resistor is less than inch in length.

Calculating voltage across a resistor series circuit 1. Look up the color of the first band in the column labeled 1st digit and find the number associated with that. Read the bands from left to right.

2step 2 read the color sequence that must be decoded to determine resistance. Compare the ends of the resistor. Vbe ranges from 06 to 07 v for a silicon transistor.

Resistors are color coded with markings or bands that allow you to quickly identify resistance values and tolerance.
