Resistor Colour Code Solver

Resistor Colour Code Solver is a simple and easy to use software utility designed to help you correctly calculate the value of a resistor from its bands' colors.

A resistor is a component in electrical circuits whose function is to implement an electrical resistance (R). The application can be useful for professionals, but it can also prove a handy learning tool to students trying to get accustomed to calculating resistor values.

Resistor Colour Code Solver provides you with several components, specifically a “Convert Color Code to Value” tool, a “Convert Value to Color Code” utility and a “Calculate P-V-I-R” functionality.

The program supports four, five and six band coding schemes, so you can easily use it to calculate any resistor's value. The “Convert Color Code to Value” tool allows you to obtain the result (in Ohms) and the corresponding temperature coefficient. The results can be expressed in normal or exponent form, as well as in units. You are provided with a sample resistor displaying all the color bands you chose, so you can be certain it is the right one. This also enables you to verify if a resistor drawing you might have made is correct.

The “Convert Value to Color Code” component enables you to select the color code scheme, then enter the resistor parameters. Depending on the chosen number of bands, you will have to enter the first three digits, the multiplier, the tolerance value and the temperature coefficient. In return, the application will display the resulting sample resistor and its respective colors.

The “Calculate P-V-I-R” function offers you the possibility of obtaining the Power (Watts), Voltage (Volts), Current (Amperes) and Resistance (Ohms) values of a circuit element, requiring two variables in order to calculate the other two.

Resistor Colour Code Solver has a simple and intuitive interface that enables both beginners and more experienced users to successfully calculate their resistor's value, making it a great work and study tool for you.
