Straight to the point, unbelievably simple- thanks!
For a change, a KZread tech video with perfect audibility, clear pronunciation, crisp enunciation. And good quality video to boot. Thanks.

Winner of a video, I have been researching "why is the resistor symbol a zig zag?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Henucas Panrooklyn Equalizer - (should be on google have a look )? It is an awesome one off product for discovering how to repair electronic devices like a pro minus the normal expense. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my neighbour got cool success with it.

Last video uploaded from this channel was 5 years ago. I wish they continued posting such video,they are very informative
simple, easy, straight to the point, quick, and practical. Thanks!
Video explains very clearly how to read resistor values and tolerances. Thank you !
i am a newbie and after watching a few videos i found this one the best and easiest to understand. Thank you
Thank you for allowing the REUSE of this very informative video for FREE. This could really make my ebook development easier.
Great, it is precise and easier to understand. Thank you for providing the video.
You forgot tk mention that no band at the end means +/- 20% tolerance

beautiful lesson
_I really enjoyed the quiz at the end!_ 👍 _I paused the video, and then calculated my answer._ 🤓🧮 _I wish you would create an entire video with 20 consecutive problems._ 🙏
Is it present in the stimulator and ultrasound machine? Also is it present behind intensity knob and timer?
thanks very helpful lesson
thanks, now i can read any resistor simply!
It really helped me my diy circuit
Thanks a lot .I understood those points well than reading them through my text book..❤❤❤
Nice video shot, thanks for sharing it with us, well done :)
very well explained.. thank u

I came because all my professor does is say, "all the information is in the book" and has us read it. We're lucky he puts power points and let's us do lab, yes. However, he doesn't share the power point to what the college calls "shell" because he's scared of "copyright." This is an in person class mind you, sir professor.
Oh my God, how I hate reading these things. Thanks for explaining it step by step! The colors on the resistors I have are all evenly spaced, so I have to start reading at the side that doesn't have a gold or silver colored band
great info thanks, straight to point
Thank u , u made me understand something my teacher couldn't teach me
Simple and Clear
Very very helpful. Thank you
Great Video !!
The best tutorial video in youtube
explained really well in a short video
Subscribed. Clarified. Happy. Conclusive
Nice Informative Video!!!!

How to read ohm meater
Best explanation ever.
Thanking you for help
Thank youve gained merits once again
thx it helps me a lot!
Thank you so much .. I fogot how to find this and now i m 100% clear about this
Good video. I was a bit confused about the direction of reading a resistor most resistors I came across are evenly spaced which can it to be read in the wrong direction.
thank youuuuuuu i like it because when i gust played the video i already learned many things love it
Nicely explained the Value of resistors, Thanks Engineering Technology Simulation channel 🙏🙂.
very helpful..thank u
Thanks for the information
Very helpful easy to understand
So thankful..I really neededd this...now I understand ..
Very well explained !!thanks alot
Great vid. TYVM.
thx a lot for the explanation. Its easy n useful
Thanks for help
Thanks alot keep it up...
*Omg thank you sooo much!*
Thank you so much so important for my lab test tomorrow
Tysm this is helpful
i have a few resistors on hand and this is useful thnx :)
You are a great gifted teacher who makes your lessons so easy to understand . 1MThanks14OCT2021singapore
Actually so helpful I bought an arduino kit and couldn’t understand this at all
Could it be with 4 bands how you calculate it please? Cheers.thks for sharing
about resister all information is fine thanks

Excellent. Everything I needed with no crap. 10/10!

Woaw u r a best teacher really . Love from pakistan
Thanks for proving my point, about why university is best learned at home.
very help full
Very good and easy.
How do I figure it out if resistance already burned? Can I just replace to any please help me
I have resistors that have no space different in between. So how do i know which is the first band?
Thanks u Sir 👍
Thank you so much❤️❤️
This helps me alot
Very nice sir
Good one
Thanks a bunch!
Thank you soooooo much😌
It’s not complicated but I need more practice, I don’t use Homs law regularly, so I can’t retain the knowledge. Great lesson.
Taught a lot better than my teacher
I have two resisters. Both have 5 bands, no spaces, and only slightly different colors. Yet, I know one is 1K ohm and the other is 10K ohm. How do I know which is which since there is no directionality and the colors are ridiculously close to each other. One looks like brown, brown, black, black, brown. The other looks like brown, red, black, black, brown.
Thank you so much
Thanks a lot
Thank you sir
Thank you 💖
So what type or how many resistors would I need if the ohms are 520.4 I'm trying to find the right type of resistors to buy. To get my 87 C4 Corvette started...

Why 142 thumps down?. May be they expected some brasier bands rules to calculate the size.
Can I get the resistor colour code chart pdf please
Good, explain.
thank you
hello sir i have some question's here how do we provide colour codes for resistor's like 3M6 ohms and 5.72 ohms?

Well 3M6 is another way of writing 3.6 mega ohms, which is 3.6x10^6 or 36x10^5, which would be orange, blue, green from the table. For 5.72 ohms, this scheme would not be able to represent the 2, but since the tolerances which can be represented are 5% and 10%, and that 2 represents about 0.35%, its within the smallest margin of error for this system anyway, so we could just represent it with 5.7, or green, violet, gold.
thx for saving my grade
Well explained. Learned.
thanks
good Idea
What’s the colour of a 2.2 meg?
thanking u for clear information sir
Pls help with the last example... anyone.. How was the tolerance determined to be +/- 10%?
Would it not make more sense to write it on the side In manufacturing ?
Thank you good jop
