If there’s one thing that will surely blind us, its reading resistor color bands. It doesn’t help that red looks exactly like orange, brown and black are indistinguishable, and different component ...

Resistors are the most commonly used component in electronics, as their purpose is to create specified values of current and voltage in a circuit. Since there's so much to understand about them, being ...

This is a handy resistor colour code “calculator” that doesn’t need power supply or to be installed on a PC. As you know most resistors use coloured bands in order to show their value. So basically ...

Thanks to reader Alan Metcalfe for bringing this to Gadget Master's attention. He describes it as "a simple Mr Spock circular (resistor) calculator, to cut-out and make". The Resistor Code Calculator ...

To calculate the resistance of the series resistor required, we need to look at the current and voltage values recommended by the LED manufacturer. Suppose a manufacturer recommends a maximum voltage ...
