Does the resistor have the color codes on it? If so, just remember "Bad boys rape young girls but violet gives willingly". I learned that in junior high electronics class. It stands for Black=1, brown=2, red=3, yellow=4, green=5, blue=6, violet=7, gray=8, white=9. Now, if I could only remember the rest of the decoding. Any help out there?
Need help finding out the Watt Value of a resistor
Dear Technichians Fellows,
I need help figuring out the WATT value of a resistor.
It's 15mm (1.5cm) long, baby blue in color.
Looks like a 1 WATT but I have had 3 WATT ones in the same size, therefore I really dont want to take chances guessing.
I have the picture of the resistor if you guys need to take a look at it.
I got the OHM VALUE figured out, all I need is to find out if this resistor is 1W 3W or 5W.
Thanks a million!
Best,
KW
