What is the color code for a -10 ohm resistor

Have you heard of "milliohms" ?? Most folks express would express that as 0.1ohms or in milliohms. So if you google "Resistor multipliers" you may very well come across the colour code you seek.

By definition it is not a resistor, primarily because it has no resistance.

I suppose you could call it an ass-istor?

Kill file the pathetic troll. He posts his bullshit messages on many newsgroups.

It's the same as a +10 ohm resistor but you turn it around the other way.

Come to think of it, they may put the brown mark on the other end of the resistor.

Just buy one please and tell us all.

Isn't negative resistance a battery? After all one can measure the ESR of batteries...

That's still a positive resistance just like a resistor you add to the circuit. The only negative resistance I know of is in certain semiconductor devices and only applies over a limited range of voltage and current.

Best Answer!!

That would only be a negative incremental resistance. A negative resistor can't be a passive device. Power has to be added to get a true negative resistance. Line amplifier are an example of negative resistors.

Are you perhaps thinking of reactance, which is some value multipled by sqrt(-1)? Inductors and capacitors are normally not marked with their reactance values because it varies with frequency.

Another possibility is that you have inserted the battery in your ohms-guesser backwards, and are therefore producing negative resistance readings. If not the battery, then perhaps the meter leads have been reversed.

I built a -1K resistor once, as a school project. It was fun to play with in various circuits. Voltage dividers with gain, positive exponential time constants, things like that.

While negative resistance does not exist, you have proven that it is possible to have a negative sense of humor. That's negative ten on the humor scale, or ten points below ZERO sense of humor!

The only thing that you've proved is that I no longer have an ability to sufferer fools of any kind, in yet another newsgroup.

Must be rough looking in the mirror... I'm just sayin'

No one cares about your ignorant blather, as well.

Obviously you do or you wouldn't have replied... I'm just sayin'

Then tell us what it's like.

So today you've decided you *do* care about my ignorant blather?

lol
