Resistors
Troubleshooting notes found here
Resistor #1
- Color codes: Brown / Black / Orange / Gold
- Stated resistance value: 10 KΩ
- Tolerance: ±5%
- Min/max possible resistance: 9.5 KΩ – 10.5 KΩ
- Actual measured resistance: 10.07 KΩ
Resistor #2
- Color codes: Yellow / Violet / Orange / Gold
- Stated resistance value: 47 KΩ
- Tolerance: ±5%
- Min/max possible resistance: 44.35 KΩ – 49.35 KΩ
- Actual measured resistance: 46.67 KΩ
Resistor #3
- Color codes: Red / Red / Orange / Gold
- Stated resistance value: 22 KΩ
- Tolerance: ±5%
- Min/max possible resistance: 20.9 KΩ – 23.1 KΩ
- Actual measured resistance: 21.68 KΩ
Resistors in Series
Calculated: 10 KΩ + 47 KΩ + 22 KΩ = 79 KΩ
Measured: 10.07 KΩ + 46.67 KΩ + 21.68 KΩ = 78.42 KΩ
Resistors in Parallel
Voltage Dividers
Resistors in Series and Parallel
Complicated Resistor Networks in Voltage Dividers
Before doing the calculations for the Voltages, the total resistance between Vin and Vout(1), Vin and Vout(2), Vout(1) and ground, and Vout(2) and ground were calculated using the equations for resistors in parallel and series.
