1k Resistor Color Code / 1k0 ohm- Overview and tips
4-bands 1k Resistor color code is as follows:
This resistor most commonly used in electronic circuit and thus you can remember its color code.
1k Resistor color code are:
Brown, Black, Red, Gold
Band | Color | Value |
---|---|---|
1st Brown | 1 | |
2nd Black | 0 | |
3rd Red | 100 | |
4th gold | 5% | |
1k±5% Ω |
It is calculated as:
1st band= Brown= 1(1st digit)
2nd band= Black= 0(2nd digit)
3rd band= Red= 100(multiplier)
4th band= Gold= ±5% (tolerance)
Therefore, 10×100±5% ==> 1000Ω ==> 1kΩ
And tolerance considered as ==> 5%of1000 ==>50Ω
Final assumed value of 1kΩ resistor is between 950 to 1050Ω
Other methods 1R Resistor Color Code:
Use a multimeter to read the value of resistor, this is the simplest method. But DMM (digital multimeter) does not read correct values when a resistor is on board, in such situation color code is useful. For more resistor code plz check below links and know other values as well.
1R resistor when not available:
R1 || R2 using two 2KΩ resistor | 2k || 2k = 1kΩ |
---|---|
R1 + R2 using two 510Ω resistor | 510 + 510 = 1020 Ω |
