Well I heard that there is this numonic device for telling how many ohms a resistor has and it seems to have reached all over the world only my teacher says its flithy and won't tell us. Can someone tell me what it is?

 

hi,

it's just a matter of assigning names that represents the 1st letter of every color code so that you can easily remember. i have attach a sample, i believe there is no universal or common name codes for that.

Bad
Boys
Race
Our
Young
Girls
Behind
Victory
Garden
Walls


The "filthy" version uses different words for Red, Blue, Gray, and White. Blue becomes "but," Gray becomes "gives," and White becomes "willingly."

Nuf said.

 

The two I remember ... and both are not G rated ....


Bad Boys Rape Our Young Girls But Violet Gives Willingly. --- Note ... it doesn't include the tolerances.

Hi,

Small correction - it's "yon Gotham bridge".

 

Correct. it's been years since I've even thought of those two sayings.

I need to know how I am going to use this in Exams, Test and on anything else.

 

Hi,

If you think it's fun with carbon resistors, wait until you get to 1% film resistors with four stripes. Especially if they are on a dark olive body.

 

Black Brown Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Violet Gray White

Bad Boys Ravage Orange Yellow Girls But Violets Give Willingly.

Variations
Rape
Our Young
Old Yucky

 

Very politically incorrect so I apolgise but it was 1985

Bad
Bastards
Root
Our
Young
Girls
Behold
Virgins
Gone
West

Bad was actually the color
Where I come from please remember your mate can be a bastard
and it can be used as a term of endearment

 

If you want the complete version including tolerance it's:

0 = Black = Bad
1 = Brown = Boys
2 = Red = Rape
3 = Orange = Our
4 = Yellow = Young
5 = Green = Girls
6 = Blue = But
7 = Violet = Violet
8 = Grey = Gives
9 = White = Willingly
5% = Gold = Get
10% = Silver = Some
20% = none = Now
