LESSON
CONDUCTORS, RESISTORS, INSULATORS, AND COLOR CODES
OVERVIEW
LESSON DESCRIPTION:
Upon completion of this lesson, you will know the characteristics of conductors, insulators, and resistors, and how
to interpret the color codes of resistors.
This lesson replaces SA0710.
TERMINAL LEARNING OBJECTIVE:
Identify the types, classifications, and characteristics of conductors, insulators, and resistors,
ACTION:
define them, recognize the schematic symbols for resistors, explain the rating factors for
resistors, and interpret resistor color codes.
Given color code charts, schematic diagrams, and pictures of resistors.
CONDITION:
To demonstrate competency of this task, you must achieve a minimum of 70 percent on the
STANDARD:
subcourse examination.
