How can you test a resistor to see what resistance it is?

 

With a multimeter!!

Neil.

 

d'oh i know that, but which setting moron

 

The one for measuring resistance you chump!

Come on Mike, its easy - even a Humbarian can do it

Once you've measured it, I'll tell you how to do it by eyeball

Neil.

 

you can read it by the bands on it or with a multimeter as neil says

 

colour banding you never built a pcb Board

i used to work for otis pcb
making them

they are used in high rise tower lifts


we where always pissed on a friday afternoon

NEVER GET INTO A FRIDAY LIFT



DONT WORRY THE LSD will catch ya sometimes

 

if you don't know how to read the colour bands or use a multi meter, what the fook do you need to know the resistance for then

 

Ohms!

 

pmsl, sorry mate but this post is quality, it made my morning

 

Dont forget, when measuring any resistor with a multimeter,
you will only get its true value when it is disconnected from its circuit.
