how to find resistor value ?

[ayush soni]

i have some bunch of resistors
but all are mixed i dont know which is is 13K & which one is 6K any way to find it out ??

 

[Harald Kapp]

Use a multimeter in Ohm range?
or
Use a color code chart.

 

[ayush soni]

ok thxx
but is there is any simple method ?
or some tool ? for this ?

 

[Harald Kapp]

Both methods are simple.
A multimeter is a tool.
What else do you expect?

Yes, just go to your supermarket and dump them all in the Ohm counter. It will count up all the Ohms, and give you back a resistor that has 95% of the Ohms you put in.

Yeah Funny Bob, like it

i was thinking to use this android app

but in its resistor color code there are 4 choices & my resistors have 5 color combinations

Use the colour chart Harald has supplied, it's really easy. Or tell us the colours. Take a close up picture or them just to be sure.

It's too early to laugh this hard...

Which supermarket? Ohm Depot?

Oh dear I thought it couldn't get any worse Time for me to go Ohm I have spent log enough on here

Glad I'm not the Ohmly one who is enjoying this!

 

[bigone5500]

Seriously. To the OP...

Please visit this link and print out the color wheel. It is very handy to have laying on your work bench. It's also fun to make!

Ohm my good!

The color code chart I linked is suitable for 4-band and 5-band resistors. The app you refer to is nothing more than an electronic version of this color code chart. If you do the decoding yourself by looking at the color codes and the chart, you will soon learn to recognize the colors and the associated codes and you can decode most resistors without the help of the chart.

0 - B ad
1 - B oys
2 - R
3 - O ur
4 - Y oung
5 - G irls
6 - B ut
7 - V iolet
8 - G oes
9 - W illingly


My teacher passed on that wisdom to remember the color codes.

 

[BobK]

The version I heard from my physics teacher was much more politically incorrect. Hint: The first one was the actual color.

You know someone might just try this. I look forward to a report

Ohm, Ohm on the Ohmmeter Range.
Ohm is where the heart is.
She certainly was Ohmly, but I couldn't resistor.
