  2. RKM code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RKM_code

    For example, 8K2 indicates a resistor value of 8.2 kΩ. Additional zeros imply tighter tolerance, for example 15M0. When the value can be expressed without the need for a prefix, an "R" or "F" is used instead of the decimal separator. For example, 1R2 indicates 1.2 Ω, and 18R indicates 18 Ω.

    The following historical mnemonics are generally considered offensive/outdated and should not be used in current electronics training: Bad boys rape our young girls but Violet gives willingly.

  4. E series of preferred numbers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E_series_of_preferred_numbers

    Two decades of E12 values, which would give resistor values of 1 Ω to 82 Ω The E series is a system of preferred numbers (also called preferred values) derived for use in electronic components . It consists of the E3 , E6 , E12 , E24 , E48 , E96 and E192 series, [ 1 ] where the number after the 'E' designates the quantity of logarithmic value ...

  5. Electronic color code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_color_code

    A 2.26 kΩ, 1%-precision resistor with 5 color bands (), from top, 2-2-6-1-1; the last two brown bands indicate the multiplier (×10) and the tolerance (1%).. An electronic color code or electronic colour code (see spelling differences) is used to indicate the values or ratings of electronic components, usually for resistors, but also for capacitors, inductors, diodes and others.

  6. Preferred number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preferred_number

    Graph of two decades of E12 series resistor values, which gives resistor values from 1 to 82 ohms (Ω) The E series is another system of preferred numbers. It consists of the E1, E3, E6, E12, E24, E48, E96 and E192 series.

  7. List of resistors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_resistors

    The strain gauge, invented by Edward E. Simmons and Arthur C. Ruge in 1938, is a type of resistor that changes value with applied strain. A single resistor may be used, or a pair (half bridge), or four resistors connected in a Wheatstone bridge configuration. The strain resistor is bonded with adhesive to an object that is subjected to ...

  8. Resistor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resistor

    Various resistor types of different shapes and sizes. A resistor is a passive two-terminal electrical component that implements electrical resistance as a circuit element. In electronic circuits, resistors are used to reduce current flow, adjust signal levels, to divide voltages, bias active elements, and terminate transmission lines, among other uses.

  9. RC time constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RC_time_constant

    It is the time required to charge the capacitor, through the resistor, from an initial charge voltage of zero to approximately 63.2% of the value of an applied DC voltage, or to discharge the capacitor through the same resistor to approximately 36.8% of its initial charge voltage.
