Activity 1.1.3 Component Identification
Introduction
In the field of electronics, there are an endless number of different types of components. The
ability to identify these components and to understand how they are labeled is an essential
skill for anyone working in the field.
In this activity you will identify and determine the nominal values for a series of resistors and
capacitors. We will concentrate on resistors and capacitors because they are part of virtually
every electronics design ever made.

2. Obtain 10 random resistors from your instructor. Using the Resistor Color Code
Diagram, record each resistors nominal value and tolerance range. Next, use a digital
multi-meter (DMM) to measure and record the actual resistance value of each resistor.
Finally, indicate if the measured value is within acceptable tolerance.
