Part 3: How To Test Resistors With A Multimeter

Part 3 of a series of tutorials on how to test various electronic components with a multimeter. In this episode I'll show you how to test Resistors and give a simplified explanation of what they do.

Wikipedia resistor colour code mnemonics (how to remember the codes).

Very good video and explanation. It made much more sense now.

well I was really hoping to see some of the sayings on resistor codes here, but, no luck.... lol I did learn a neat way to check a resistor when it is open, and burnt, or discolored really bad. if you scratch off the ceramic coating to get to the coils inside, you should be able to read the resistor or at least half of the resistor to determine the value of it. That is a good way to find out especially if you don't have schematics to follow. great video again.

This help me a lot since I kinda forgot what I’ve learn in the past I guess haha…easiest explanation and demonstration..thanks!
I watch couple of your videos (because I just discovered this channel by chance) and I’m quite frustrated on why did this channel didn’t boomed yet with all the quality content shown here huhu😭😭😭
Btw goodluck!

thank you so much you are an amazing teacher

[rondavis]

A very helpful video as a newbie to Electronics, although already stumped by a Resistor Value, due to a burn darkening. Thank you for your help.

Mosfets totally confuse me a video on them would be awesome, what used for, what's source drain gate etc ? Especially in laptops

How do u tell which side to start reading the value according to that chart

[sabiya]

Hello I have a cordless drill charger, there’s power going to it but the led’s on the charger don’t light up nor does it charge my battery, it’s a tiny board with one small resistor resistor I’ve measured that and it reads 00.5, as the board is so small there’s nothing else to check, is resistor bad or anything else I can check a new charger is quite expensive.if I can repair this that would help great.
The colours on the resistor are Black, Brown, GreenSilver and Brown.

when installing a resistor is there a positive or directional

[gavinlocke]

is the any way of finding out what the blank ones are

[michaelalfonso]

how the latest resistor that use in cellphones they are too small how to distinguish their values?

[Googlename]

When I measure ohm by fluke, it starts with a big number then goes down to a number. Why it does that? (e.g starts with 315.7 ohm then decrement down to 150 ohm)

[GodspowerEkwere]

What of when we have two same colours how do we read it

[TopOyster]

That Fluke 77 is lovely. Worth a recalibration ;)

[faithworks]

What if there is a continuity on a resistor when you test it with a multimeter

[NicksStuff]

Ohhh, please teach us the offensive mnemonic technique!

[treadmilldoctorgh]

Kindly send me the colour code of resistor to study

[basilwatson]

ahhh you mean "bad boys "roger" our young girls but Violet grew Wise?
