Lesson 8 Component Handling and Preparation
1. When reading the value of a resistor, the first two color bands represent the
first two digits and the third represents the __________________.
2. The fourth color band (reading left to right) indicates the resistor's
________________.
3. If you have a capacitor marked "104", its value will be: (A.) .001uF, (B.)
.01uF (C.) .1 uF, (D.) 1.0 uF. [ ]
4. Electrolytic capacitors are polarized and must be oriented correctly on pc
boards. When determining polarity, the shorter lead is always (+ or -)
_________.
5. (T/F) Molded chokes use the same general color-code scheme as resistors.
[ ]
6. The banded end of a diode indicates the (cathode/anode)
_________________.
7. On an LED, the cathode is the (longer/shorter)__________________ lead.
8. (T/F) Transistors are non-polarized devices that may be installed either
way. [ ]
9. When a transistor is packaged in a metal can, the tab on the side of the case
marks the (emitter/base/collector)________________________.
10. To find pin #1 on an IC (looking from the top down), first locate the
installation key, then move (clockwise/counter-
clockwise) __________________________ around the device and find the
first pin.
