Title: Describe resistors by type and value.
Course: Electronics Systems I (17106-36) > Section: Introducing Circuit Components

Description should include

- identifying types of resistors
- identifying notation (µ, n, p, K, M, G)
- interpreting a color-coded chart that correlates colors to type and value
- determining resistance values using color or color-recognizing mobile apps
- identifying the band system to represent values, multiplier, and tolerance.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What are the types of resistors and their characteristics, applications, and advantages?
- What are the units of measurement for resistive components?
- How are resistive components labeled?
- What is the resistor color code, and how is it used to determine values and tolerances?
- How is a resistor’s power rating determined and measured?
- Does component size affect resistor values? Explain.
