Question

How is the resistance value of a resistor indicated on the component itself?

Options

• By its shape and size

• By colour bands printed on it

• By a numeric value stamped on it

• By the length of its leads

Answer 1

By colour bands printed on it

Explanation:

A resistor limits the flow of current in a circuit, and its resistance value is identified using a colour band code printed on its body. Each colour represents a specific digit or multiplier, allowing students to read the resistance value directly from the component.
