  • Awesome video. Very nice job.

  • HELP PLEASE. I have the sets of resistors u shown 1st m this video. How can I get 1.472 OHM??

  • tnx br0

  • i have a 4.9v supply and 13 leds i need to run in circuit. which resistor should i use? in colour band order pls as ime going to salvage one from another board thnx

  • hello sir...may i ask something, what if the resistor has a 5th or 6th band... for example, the resistor has a 2 gold color bands or 1 silver and 1 gold color band after the multiplier band, what is value of the 2 bands? it is still the tolerance both of them?

  • Why didn't u mention how to calculate the tolerance to 330 ohms

  • excellent video, such a great job u've done dear

  • and now i know. i was like "how the fuck do i tell a 12000 ohm resistor from a 100 ohm resistor?"

  • thanks so friggin much, REALLY NEEDED THIS FOR MY SCHOOL PROJECT D::DD::D:D <333<33<3<3 lovez kisses

  • on the first column it says 1st, 2nd, or 3rd digit, which band tells us the 3rd digit?

  • Can I just use a multimeter to figure the resistance?

  • Amazing video :D

    Only that I have just found out, that the black color doesn't hold any tolerance.

    While Brown = 1% and Red = 2%

  • awesome I was able to use a nine volt battery to light an LED thx

  • How do you know witch side is witch?

  • @Jairjair1 Gold or silver will always be the last band.

  • For all you guys having trouble remembering the table or are still looking of a "cheat sheet", I wrote a free program to help you out. Here is the link to the quick tutorial on how to use the program. The download link is in the description. youtube.com/watch?v=nolRA9ZmK-­U

  • ok so i searched youtube for resistor color coding. and i never thot of bucky being the person with a tutorial.. you are so cool

  • thnks man :)

  • I very good way to memorize the chart is think of a rainbow, count what number the color is on the rainbow and add 1, red = 1+1 =2

    brown and black are easy to memorize because black has no color so it is a 0 or no multiplier and brown has color but since it is not on the rainbow, brown = 0+1=1

  • thx man this helping a lot for my electric class.....i hope you have some new video soon.

  • nice explanation.. tnx

  • I have Green Blue Gold and silver in that order dose that mean i would have to divide 56 by 10 and have a 5.6 ohm resistor with a 10% tollerance???

  • @1800Supreme Yes because you have to divide by 10 for the third band since its gold (as indicated by the chart) good luck!

  • hard to see? What are most people borderline blind or somthing?

  • so gold and silver do not represent the values , and that is the way to know which side is which ???

  • What are some times that you would use a resistor for? Is it like when you have a battery that gives 9V but the component only need 6V to function? Is that when you would use a resistor?

  • im confused, so does it matter witch end goes to were like if there power is going to the gold to the brown would it matter?

  • is normaly the color brown the first one?

  • Thank you so much for this video!! I was trying to figure out how to read resistors from books but couldn't figure it out. Now I see how easy it really is!

    Thanks!

  • great tutorials! your an awesome teacher!!!

  • could u make a 555 timer video on how to make a blinking l.e.d please

  • When we connect resisters in series...then we say that same Amount of current flow through the Circuit......

    Suppose we have 2 resisters connected in series in a circuit...when current start to flow(suppose from -ve terminal) and goes through first resister,now some energy must be used by first resister...now how can the same energy be transmitted to the 2nd one!!???

    how is the current constant>??as some energy is used by the 1st one..!!

    If any 1 knows about it...Reply me.

  • @tajiknomi ...

    current means the rate of change of charges passing through the resistors, which doesn't say anything about the energy lost through the resistors in series...so the current kept constant within a In-series circuit is nothing odd..

  • dude very simple and very clear even my lil sys now knows how much ohms a resistant is :P , no really now just a perfect work

  • How do you know which band is the first? Couldnt the first gold band be the first one? I just built my first device today. It was a sound amplifier I got at Fys for $10. Pretty cool for a newbie.

  • what if the third band is gold??

  • good job 5 stars

  • wow dude bucky you must be fucking pownage because each time i search sumtin up you come up lmao nice dude.

  • good explanations

  • Instead of saying that you have to multiply.. you just have to add however many 0's to your first 2 numbers that the color represents.. Brown = 1 so add 1 zero to your first 2 numbers.. Red =2 so add 2 zeros to your first 2 numbers.. etc.. Might be easier? Just depends on who you are i guess.. nice video

  • @RayHagler66 Man you just made it much easyer.

  • @RayHagler66 exactly! thats what i was gonna say :P

  • @RayHagler66 lol what's the difference? im pretty sure everybody knows how to multiply by 10's unless they're retarded.

  • like the way you write omega :P

  • Great tutorials(all videos.) for me is a 5 star. Thanks!

  • I think it would be easier to read from left to right :P... 5 anyway :)

  • you are intelligent

    thank you for all tutorial

  • hey what did u study in collage

  • college?

  • i know all this... thanks tho

  • Nice job Bucky. Excellent description and illustration. Couldn't have been simpler.

    Cheers.

  • lol nobady will get this

  • What's not to get? Anyone at a 5th grade math level would get this. Which part of this do you see as diffucult?

  • hes obviously not in the 5th grade if he can spell

    nobody

  • haha!!! true... true...

  • shit I forgot a apostrophe in he's

    now I'm a hypocrite!

  • yah and you forgot to say " an apostrophe"

  • damn it! You got me

  • HAHAHA

  • rofl

  • THIRD <3

  • Thank you!!!!!!! That helps loads =D
