Title: Determine the properties of resistance.
Course: Electronics/Industrial Robotics Technology (17101-I) > Section: Applying Electronics Fundamentals

Determination should include identifying the

- ohmic value, using an ohmmeter and reading the color code
- power rating, considering physical size, markings, and manufacturer recommendations
- tolerance range (percentage), using color code.

Process/Skill Questions:

- How does the size of a resistor relate to its power-handling capability?
- What are the two most common ways of determining resistance?
- What is the ohmic (resistance) value on an ohmmeter of a resistor with the following color bands: orange, yellow, red, gold?
