What does 10K resistance mean?

What does 10K resistance mean?

What does 10K ohm mean? Imagine you have a voltage source at 6V. If you had a 10K Ohm resistor, you would have 6/10,000 amperes of current flowing in the circuit. A 10k ohm resistor has 4 color bands: brown, black, orange, and gold for 5% tolerance, respectively.

What are 10K resistors used for?

Commonly used in PCBs and perf boards, these 10K resistors make excellent pull-ups, pull-downs, and current limiters. Because of the thin leads we don’t recommend them for breadboards.

What is coded resistance?

Resistor Color Coding uses colored bands to quickly identify a resistors resistive value and its percentage of tolerance with the physical size of the resistor indicating its wattage rating. The colors brown, red, green, blue, and violet are used as tolerance codes on 5-band resistors only.

What does 10k mean in electronics?

The letter ‘k’ means a thousand and its position shows the position of the decimal point. Here are some examples: 10R = 10 ohms 10k = 10 kilohms = 10 000 ohms 4k7 = 4.7 kilohms = 4 700 ohms. Ohm’s Law.

What is a 10K preset?

10K. Cermet preset is a compact variable resistor and pcb mountable with 3 terminal pins. The voltage between the terminal varies as the preset is rotated. The Variable resistors are used for variating voltage as per the need in a circuit.
