hi again, i baught myself a GCSE component pack from maplins here: http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?...ldID=&doy=8m10

it contains 10 of the following values:

10 47
100 220 330 470 680
1k 2k2 3k3 4k7 6k8
10k 22k 33k 47k 68k
100k 22k 33k 470k 680k
1M

The problem is, the resistors i usualy work with are the brown ones with 3 coloured bands and then the gold. But these ones have 4 coloured bands and then a brown and i am having difficulty reading the values.
Here is what i got (not counting the brown at the end of each resistor):

1) blue, gray, black, orange 680k
2) blue, gray, black, red 68k
3) blue, gray, black brown 6k8
4) blue, gray, black, black 680
5) yellow, purple, black, red 470k
6) yellow, brown, black, orange 470k
7) yellow, purple, black, brown 47k
8.) yellow, purple, black, black 4k7
9) yellow, purple, gold 470
10) orange, orange, black, red 33k
11) orange, orange, black, black 3k3
12)orange, orange, black, brown 330
13)red, red, black, red 22k
14) red, red, black, brown 22k
15) red, red, black, black 2k2
16) red, red, black, yellow 220
17) brown, black, black, gold 10
18.) brown, black, black, brown 100
19) brown, black, black, black 1k
20) brown, black, black, red 10k
21) brown, black, black, orange 100k
22) brown, black, black, yellow 1m

I have lost one set and i know some of those are wrong, i just don't know which ones or what to change them to. I have numbered them 1-22 to make it easier for you to tell me which ones need changing.
I have tries searching google for info about resistor values but it didnt help.
Hope you can.
Thanks, Mike

Those are all wrong. Finding the right values is left as an exercise to the original poster

Thanks for the link.
I thaught the top ones would have been wrong, not all those lol
number 6 should have been purple not brown....
ok, so i got this this time:
6) 47k ??
7) 4k7
8.) 470 ohms
9) 47 ohms
10) 3k3
11) 330
12) 33k ??
14) 220
15) 22k
16) 2k2
17) 100
18.) 1k
19) 100

Thanks to everyone for your help
hope that is right....


Mike

lol i like the brown ones with 3 band and then the gold or silver tolerance one i can work out those ones easier, i found a program that calculated the resistance of 4 or 5 band resistors, all i had to do was enter the colours so ive done them now lol

Mikey - that box from Maplin looks a bit expensive for what it is... You don't get many resistors either, but if you are just learning I suppose it's ok for a starter.. I might start making up those kits to sell myself Are you still after some relays?

Kind regards,

Mike

nope, got some now, sorry.
They are 12v 40 amp SPCO car relays

I might start making up those kits to sell myself

wouldnt mind buying one of those lol
do you meen the same as the maplin one or with diferent/more components?
I'm still waiting for other components to come (ordered them a week ago) from www.mutr.co.uk
