The values or ratings of electronic components are indicated by the electronic color code that was developed in the early 1920s. It is not only seen in resistors, but also in capacitors, inductors, ...

The Excel cell formula below calculates the nearest standard 1%-resistor value without using a lookup table or macro. Type or electronically paste the text below into any cell (other than A1). The ...

In electronics, accurately identifying resistor values is essential for designing circuits that function safely and efficiently. The resistor color code system, which uses colored bands on resistors ...

[Alex Busman]’s first foray in iOS programming looks like a pretty useful tool. He came up with Ohm Sense, an iPhone app that will take a picture of a resistor and calculate the value based on the ...
