Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Resistors color code worksheet
To solve the resistor values from the color codes, we need to use the resistor color code chart provided at the bottom of the worksheet. The chart assigns a numerical value to each color and specifies how many zeros (multipliers) are added based on the position of the colors.

Resistor Color Code Chart Recap:


1. First Band: Represents the first digit.
2. Second Band: Represents the second digit.
3. Third Band: Represents the multiplier (number of zeros).
4. Fourth Band: Represents the tolerance (optional).

Step-by-Step Solution:



#### 1. First Resistor:
- Color Bands: Orange, Black, Yellow
- Values:
- Orange = 3
- Black = 0
- Yellow = \(10^4\) (4 zeros)
- Calculation: \(30 \times 10^4 = 300,000 \, \Omega\)
- Answer: 300 kΩ

#### 2. Second Resistor:
- Color Bands: Red, Red, Yellow
- Values:
- Red = 2
- Red = 2
- Yellow = \(10^4\) (4 zeros)
- Calculation: \(22 \times 10^4 = 220,000 \, \Omega\)
- Answer: 220 kΩ

#### 3. Third Resistor:
- Color Bands: Orange, Yellow, Brown
- Values:
- Orange = 3
- Yellow = 4
- Brown = \(10^1\) (1 zero)
- Calculation: \(34 \times 10^1 = 340 \, \Omega\)
- Answer: 340 Ω

#### 4. Fourth Resistor:
- Color Bands: Green, Red, Red
- Values:
- Green = 5
- Red = 2
- Red = \(10^2\) (2 zeros)
- Calculation: \(52 \times 10^2 = 5,200 \, \Omega\)
- Answer: 5.2 kΩ

#### 5. Fifth Resistor:
- Color Bands: Brown, Black, Blue
- Values:
- Brown = 1
- Black = 0
- Blue = \(10^6\) (6 zeros)
- Calculation: \(10 \times 10^6 = 10,000,000 \, \Omega\)
- Answer: 10 MΩ

#### 6. Sixth Resistor:
- Color Bands: Red, Red, Orange
- Values:
- Red = 2
- Red = 2
- Orange = \(10^3\) (3 zeros)
- Calculation: \(22 \times 10^3 = 22,000 \, \Omega\)
- Answer: 22 kΩ

Final Answers:


1. 300 kΩ
2. 220 kΩ
3. 340 Ω
4. 5.2 kΩ
5. 10 MΩ
6. 22 kΩ

Boxed Final Answer:


\[
\boxed{300 \, \text{kΩ}, 220 \, \text{kΩ}, 340 \, \Omega, 5.2 \, \text{kΩ}, 10 \, \text{MΩ}, 22 \, \text{kΩ}}
\]
