3,3oo ohms, or 33,200,ooo ohms. Oooopss.

Hello,
Hope All Is Well.
This resistor is a value of 33.2 Ohms with +/-5%
Thanks

Hi All,
Try first and will let you all know the answer in 1 or 2 days time.
Thanks.

33k +/- 5%

Hi Mr. Yong,
It is 3.32ohm +/- 0.5%. Which means it's good
at 3.303 to 3.336 ohms.

The picture isn't very good. I thought the 4th band was silver.
If it is gold, then it is 33.2ohm +/- 0.5%. That would make it good at 33.366 to 33.034.

sir,
It is 33.2 ohms with 0.5 % tolerance.

Hi Jestine,
I think it is 33.2 ohms.

Hi guys,
It's 3300 Ohms with 5% tolerance and 20ppm/k that is temperature coefficient.

Sorry but I made a mistake in my previous calculation. The resistor value is 330 Ohms with .5% Tolerance. If it's 6 band resistor the 6th band is temperature coefficient

the R value is 3.3ohm with +/-0.5% tolerance

Sir jestine
I appreciate you for above question.
The Resistance Value is 33.2 -^- and Tolerence is 0.5 % percent.
Justification for the Students and Learners Like-Wise,
By Using Resistor Color Code Formulas
Resistor Color Codes is Orange, Orange, Red, Gold, and Green
Now Respectively Values are 3 3 2 Division by 10 and green is Tolorence Value which half 1/2 percent.
The Value will be 33.2 ohms with 0.5 percent Tolorence
Thanks you

Hi Jestine! Resistance has a value of 3.32 Ohms.

Sir Jestin. Blessings and Thanks From Jamaica.
This resistor is 33200 MEG Ohms.
by my examination, might have a tolerance of +/-20.
But the others are correct in suggesting it SHOULD be -+5%! 😮 ?
Hope I'm right - else I need more of your lessons >.> 😀

jestine, the value is 3.3kohms with tolerance of 5% and o.5%.

33.2ohms + or -0.5%

I think you would read it from the green band end and it is either a.5 or 5 ohm resistor.

hi jesttine wish they kept use 3 digit system.its easier now some times we do not know where to start reading resistor from right or left
its 3300.i will not say 33.2 even if it is right
Hussein
March 8, 2014 at 10:15 am
I am not sure but could it be:
3.3K Ohms
5% tolerance
20 ppm/K Temp. Coefficient

Dear Jestine, Good Morning
Answer of quiz is 33.2 ohms 0.5% tolerance.

Here is the answer:
3.3K Ohms, 5% tolerance, 20 ppm/K Temp. Coefficient
The meter read 3.3 K ohm and the last green color band info can be found in this link:
http://www.hobby-hour.com/electronics/resistor_color_code.php
Look for optional band explanation.
and also take a look at the below color band chart:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_color_code
Congrat to those all you who managed to answer it. Is ok for those who can't get the right answer as we are all here to learn.
Cheers.

Hi Mr. Yong,
Perhaps the resistor is out of tolerance (bad) and just happens to check at 3.3K. Everything that I have read says the 6th band is a temperature coefficient.
Are you saying that they have re-written the rules?
Jestine Yong
March 9, 2014 at 5:34 pm
HI Robert,
Check out the link I have given under "Optional band".

Hi Mr. Yong,
That should be against the law. I understand military doing stuff like that but it shouldn't be done in commercial applications.
Do they just want to save the money for 1 more stripe of paint?
Jestine Yong
March 10, 2014 at 8:38 am
HI Robert,
Not sure about the law but in some 5 bands resistors you could see the last stripe was white or even black but the calculation is to use the 4 color bands method.

Thanks Jestine for the answer. Although I was the first one to answer correctly later I made a confusion. Not only this there are many differently coded resistors which causes lot of tension to repairers to find the value, specially when the resistor is open. I didn't invent anything, I just Googled to find the value of that particular resistor.

Hi Jestine,
I'm sure the resistor is tested with ohm-meter as 3.3K 5%,
but I got a little bit confused as the link says:
"The 5 band code is used for marking high quality, precision resistors with 2%, 1% or lower tolerances."
How do we categorize a 5% resistor as a high quality and precision one?
And how we can determine the 5th band as tolerance or temp. coefficient!
There must a general way or rule for this.
thanks,
Jestine Yong
March 10, 2014 at 6:29 pm
Hi Amender,
The rule of thumb is to locate the 4th color band. If it is gold color then the fifth is the temp coefficient. This is just my opinion.

I enjoyed this lesson and hope that in the future you continue to have lessons like this. I'm sure all of us will learn something while investigating the lesson.
Thanks, you da man!

im late but guessed 3300 ohms 5% .... .from previos experience if the resistor is a power type, wirewound not carbon, and is open, and you need to find the value, I have in the past chipped away the ceramic coating very carefully and measured with and ohmmeter from either end till I got a reading.by estimating how far you are from the end you can kinda guess approximately the value.itll get you in the ballpark anyway!! tolerance is not that important a lot of times just as long as you make it PLAY !!! mike retz dallas texas usa

Hi Mike,
I would just use a single-turn pot to find the average ohms for when it works. Then use a multi-turn pot to check how close of tolerance the circuit needs.
I haven't actually tried it yet, but in theory it seems to me that it would work. I think I will test it within the next few days and see.

Hi Amendar,
Thanks very much for the link. In that tutorial everything, including color coding is explained about resistors to electronic novice and expert alike.
