SECTION 2Resist If You Must
RESISTORS ARE ONE OF the fundamental components within electronics. They are funny little things and come in all different colors. And just like a rainbow, they come in all sizes too.
To master electronics, you must first master the secret color code, unlocking the mystery of how to tell one resistor from another.
But beware! Can you handle the knowledge and power that lies beyond this task?
Lesson 4 Reading Resistors
Fixed resistors are the most common electronic components. They are so common because they are so useful. Most often, these are identified using their color code (Table L4-1). If you think the secret code is hard to remember, just ask any six-year-old to name the colors in the rainbow.
