Carbon Composition Resistors
• Notice the varying sizes (Wattage Ratings) and that some have four bands and some have five bands.

Check for Understanding
• Throw out a few resistors to students and determine values as a class.
• Give the students the values and then have them determine the colors of the bands.
• Resistor Color Code Worksheet and Lab
