In general, there are two types of resistors, namely wire coil resistors and carbon resistors. Wire roll resistors are usually used in the laboratory, made by wrapping fine wire on the surface of the insulator tube. Carbon resistors are typically used in electronic circuits, cylindrical, and have wires at both ends. The value of the carbon resistor resistance is expressed in color code and displayed on the surface of the resistor.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" style=\"text-align: justify\" align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Times new roman, serif\"><span style=\"font-size: medium\">The resistance value of a resistor can be known by interpreting the resistor color code.
