how do you know which way round the resistor goes in order to read the stripes in correct order? the stripes all look the same distance apart so if the were turned the other way around would have read the wrong value.
The beige resistors usually have a gold stripe for 5% tolerance (5 is green otherwise), so those are easy. The blue resistors usually have a brown stripe for 1% which is annoying when the resistor value starts with 1, so that a brown stripe is on both sides. Hopefully the tolerance stripe is farther apart from the value stripes, but mine tend to not be. So, sometimes it is a real pain trying to read the value. 12 13 14 are not common starting digit numbers, so if you see red, orange or yellow, second away from a resistor end, then it's likely that it is in the multiplier position, and the brown stripe next to it is tolerance.
Thank God for ohm meters cause I can't read the blue resistors to save my life. Some of the colors are distorted and can't tell what color it is. Don't know which way to read them. And the tolerance is a complete lie on some of them. I like the old traditional resistors, so much easier to read.
@@sheetalsharma1466 Usually it's brown for the blue resistors or gold for the beige resistor. But if it is brown or otherwise the same color on both sides, then the best you can do is see which direction has the more common value. Red (2) and orange (3) are often used as a multiplier and not so much as a second digit. Unfortunately some resistors will be impossible to tell by the color code alone.
I have a non working plate subwoofer amp and it worked then next time I went to use it nothing, the only thing on a visual inspection is 2 resisters side by side that look like they got hot maby and tiny black Crust between on one end of them, could this cause it not to work at all, and how to tell what they are there's only 3 lines, one on each end and 1 in the middle all equally spaced.
Unfortunately I don't really know anything about subwoofers, but that sounds like a good place to start. Reddit has a lot of electronics subreddits where people share pictures of their troublesome circuits for advice. I usually see a lot of good answers given by people with experience, I'd give that a try. Good luck!
why do you ignore the last stripe?? and how in hell should i know where is the front and where the back / where to start? How can you overlook so basic important questions? Thumbs down.
