Frequently asked questions
How do I read the resistor values?
Read the colour bands with the multiplier and tolerance band. Resistors with 1% tolerance usually have five bands, and the last band indicates tolerance. A multimeter is the most reliable check.
Can a 1/4 W resistor be used in higher-power circuits?
Calculate the dissipated power with P = I²R or P = V²/R. Keep the result comfortably below 0.25 W; otherwise use a higher-wattage resistor, since an overloaded resistor can overheat and change value.
