All You Need To Know
I'm working through The ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW series. These are my notes.
All You Need To Know About RESISTORS To Fix Stuff!
- 1R0 = 1.0 Ohm
- 1K0 = 1.0 K Ohm
- 1M0 = 1.0 M Ohm
Three digit code: value value multiplier Four digit code: value value value multiplier
The reason for connecting a bunch of lower value resistors in series is to provide an aggregate resistance which can handle a higher current.
With SMD components:
- if they look black they are almost certainly resistors (but could be capacitors)
- if they look brown they are almost certainly capacitors (probably not resistors)
- if they look white they are usually capacitors
- if they look green they are usually resistors
