Some people look at a venerable resource like resistor color code charts and see something tried and true, but to [Andrew Jeddeloh], there’s room for improvement. A search for a more intuitive ...

Then one day, he asked me to identify a certain resistor — it was a 2.2K resistor ... Since then, I have run across a few with off color banding that made me confuse **K devices with **10K devices and ...

One of the first things you learn in electronics is how to identify a resistor’s value. Through-hole resistors have color codes, and that’s generally where beginners begin. But why are they ...
