Resistance is a passive component commonly used to restrict electric current. This article explains the resistor color code and how to measure resistance value. Every resistance follows a color coding scheme and its values is determined by decoding the colors which are marked on it. If you will look at any resistance you will find some colored…

What is a Resistor? An electric resistor is a two-terminal passive component specifically used to oppose and limit current. A resistor works on the principle of Ohm’s Law which states that voltage across the terminals of a resistor is directly proportional to the current flowing through it. Ohm’s Law: V = IR where V is…
