Question

Difficulty: EasyResistors and Potentiometers

Four-band resistors use standardized color bands to indicate numerical resistance values. Match each resistor color band with its correct numerical digit value.

  • BrownDigit value of 11
  • OrangeDigit value of 33
  • BlueDigit value of 66
  • GrayDigit value of 88

Answer

Brown matches with digit value of 11, Orange matches with digit value of 33, Blue matches with digit value of 66, and Gray matches with digit value of 88.
According to the standard EIA resistor color code: Brown represents 1, Orange represents 3, Blue represents 6, and Gray represents 8.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Recall the standard electronic color code sequence from 0 through 9.
The standardized sequence is Black (0), Brown (1), Red (2), Orange (3), Yellow (4), Green (5), Blue (6), Violet (7), Gray (8), and White (9).
Each color band on a fixed resistor corresponds to an exact base-10 numerical value.
2
Pair each given color band to its corresponding numerical digit.
Brown = 1, Orange = 3, Blue = 6, and Gray = 8.
Direct mapping using the standard EIA color code chart.
