2.1  (page 101 of text)

Relationship between resistance and resistivity, AWG.

See tables 2-1 and 2-2 and figure 2-1		   Download prob2-1s.pdf 2.2-2.4
2.5 Variation of resistance with temperature. This is a prelude to use of a thermistor in an upcoming lab.   Download prob2-5s.pdf  2.6-2.8

Read about the Resistor Color Code and standard resistor values. 

a. Decide a method you want to use to help memorize the color code.

examples https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_electronic_color_code_mnemonics Links to an external site.

b. What color will the following 5% resistors be: 

1k-ohm (you will use this in lab1), 2.4k-ohm, 4.3 M-ohm  

c. Print out a Resistor Color Code or get the cell phone app so will have it handy throughout your labs in ECE.

 Practical information about resistors.  This is information you will need in Lab 1.

 1kohm = Brown(1)-Black(0)-Red(x10^2)-Gold(5%)

2.4kohm = Red(2)-yellow(4)-Red(x10^2)-Gold(5%)

4.3Mohm = Yellow(4)-Orange(3)-Green(x10^5)-Gold(5%)
