Colour coding of Resistance is considered one of the most asked concept.
14 Questions around this concept.
The Wheatstone bridge shown in the figure here gets balanced when the carbon resistor used as $\mathrm{R}_1$ has the colour code (Orange, Red, Brown) The resistors $R_2$ and $R_4$ are $80 \Omega$ and $40 \Omega$, respectively. Assuming that the colour code for the carbon resistors gives their accurate values, the colour code for the carbon resistor, used as $\mathrm{R}_3$, would be :
A 2 W carbon resistor is color-coded with green, black, red and brown respectively. The maximum current (in mA) which can be passed through this resistor is :
A $200 \Omega$ resistor has a certain color code. If one replaces the red color with green in the code, the new resistance (in $\Omega$ ) will be :

Colour coding of Resistance
The carbon resistance has normally four coloured rings bands and .
Colour bands A and B Indicates the decimal figure.
Colour band C Indicates the decimal multiplier.
Colour band D Indicates the tolerance in per cent about the indicated value. Tolerance represents the percentage accuracy of the indicated value.
