All About Resitors

[Yorkie]

A useful website - especially for newcomers - with 13 pages of well written info about resistors - what different Wattage and types of resistors look like, preferred value ranges, colour codes for four & five band, old and modern cicrcuit symbols, Ohm's law - most of the stuff that most restorers will want to know about:

Hi David,
Many thanks for posting this.

The area I have difficulty with is knowing the wattage capacity of the resistor by its size. I have numerous 'larger' resistors but I could tell if they are 1, 2, 3 watt or even larger.

Regards

Rob
