Electrical resistance is a measure of the degree to which an

object opposes the passage of an electric current. The SI unit


of electrical resistance is the ohm. Its reciprocal quantity is
electrical conductance measured in siemens.
Resistance is the property of any object or substance of
resisting or opposing the flow of an electrical current.
The quantity of resistance in an electric circuit determines the
amount of current flowing in the circuit for any given voltage
applied to the circuit.

Where
R is the resistance of the object, usually measured in ohms.
V is the potential difference across the object, usually measured in volts
I is the current passing through the object, usually measured in amperes

Color Coding in Resistors :


Resistor Color Code
0 Black
Resistance 1 Brown
value,
first three 2 Red
bands. 3 Orange
1st band – 4 Yellow
1st digit A variation on the color code is used for
2nd band – 5 Green
precision resistors which may have five
2nd digit 6 Blue colored bands. In that case the first three
3rd band – 7 Violet bands indicate the first three digits of the
number resistance value and the fourth band
of zeros. 8 Gray indicates the number of zeros. In the five
9 White band code the fifth band is gold for 1%
resistors and silver for 2%.
