Introduction
The electronic color code is used to indicate the values
or ratings of electronic components, usually for resistors,
but also forcapacitors, inductors, diodes and others. A
separate code, the 25-pair color code, is used to identify
.wires in some telecommunicationscables
And The resistance value for a resistor is generally
indicated through the use of a 4 (or 3, or 5) band color
code. For a typical four-band code, the first two bands tell
you the first two digits of the resistance, the third band tells
you how many zeros to add, and the fourth band tells you
the tolerance. For a five-band color code, the first three
bands tell you the first three digits of the resistance, the
fourth band tells you how many zeros to add, and the fifth
.band tells you the tolerance
Objective
To lean the resister colour code,and become familiar with
the measurement of resistance values using a digital
.multimeter (DMM)
Equipment
Digital multmeter -1
Various colour resister -2

.why? Mention it
/Ans
Let us imagine that you touched a metal surface
,that has an electrical fault with a dry finger
The dry finger has an high resistance.
Therefore, only a small amount of current
will flow from the metal surface to inside the
.body
Now imagine that you touched the same metal surface, but
.this time it was wet with saline or some other fluid
Generally, liquids have a much lower resistance to current
flow than dry skin. Therefore, your wet finger allows a much
larger amount of current to flow through you, giving you a big
.shock
So, wet skin, because it has a low resistance, makes you have
.a higher risk of harmful electrical shock
