Help with resistance reading
Thread Content
I removed a resistor from an e-bike charger; it’s a four-color resistor, with colors brown, brown, white, and gold in order from left to right. The value indicated by the color bands is 11,000 megohms. I think this might be incorrect – could you please advise me?
According to the color code, it is 11,000 megohms. Why is it such a high value? Could the white ring be silver? If so, it would be 0.011 ohms; use a multimeter to check.
I used the ohm meter function of a multimeter to test it, and the reading was unstable – sometimes it showed 21 megohms, sometimes 18 megohms, and sometimes 17 megohms!
Is there such a high resistance in the circuit?
I typed the number wrong; it should be 0.11 ohms. An unstable reading with a multimeter indicates that the resistor is damaged.
It serves as an isolation current, but it is not suitable for applications where capacitors are used, as charging a capacitor creates a reverse voltage that is applied to the circuit
