Question
Resistors are generally colour coded to:

Answer

  1. Determine their values in ohm.
Explanation:
Components and wires are coded with colors to identify their value and function. The colors brown, red, green, blue, and violet are used as tolerance codes on 5-band resistors only.
So,Resistors are generally colour coded to determine their values in ohm.
