Lesson Plan: Capacitor Number Coding

Teacher: _________________________

Subject: Electronics / EIM / Physics (Electronics Application)

Grade/Level: Senior High School / Technical-Vocational

Date: _____________________________

Time Allotment: 1 Hour

I. Objectives
 Explain the significance of capacitor number coding.
 Interpret capacitor codes (numerical and letter designations).
 Correctly compute the capacitance value given the number code.
 Apply knowledge of capacitor coding in identifying actual components.

II. Subject Matter


Topic: Capacitor Number Coding

References: Electronics textbooks, datasheets, DepEd K–12 curriculum guide, online


resources

Materials: Actual capacitors, multimeter, chart of capacitor codes, projector/board

III. Procedure
A. Review / Motivation (5 minutes)

• Ask: “Have you seen small capacitors with numbers instead of written values? Why do you
think codes are used instead of writing full values?”

• Show students different capacitors with labels like 104, 223, 472.

B. Lesson Proper (30 minutes)

1. Presentation

• Explain capacitor coding system (EIA standard):


- First two digits = significant figures
- Third digit = multiplier (number of zeros in picofarads, pF)
- Example: 104 → 10 (significant) + 4 (zeros) = 100,000 pF = 100 nF = 0.1 µF
2. Discussion / Guided Practice

• Decode sample capacitor codes with the class:


- 223 = 22,000 pF = 22 nF
- 472 = 4700 pF = 4.7 nF
• Introduce tolerance letters (e.g., J = ±5%, K = ±10%).

3. Hands-on Activity

• Give groups of students actual capacitors with number codes.


• Each group decodes and records values in a worksheet.
• Compare answers and verify using a digital capacitance meter.

C. Generalization (10 minutes)

• Ask students: “What is the importance of learning capacitor codes in electronics repair or
circuit design?”
• Emphasize how proper identification prevents circuit malfunction.

D. Evaluation (10 minutes)

Written Quiz: Decode the following capacitor codes:

1. 1. 102
2. 2. 473
3. 3. 681
4. 4. 224
5. 5. 331

Answer key: 1000 pF = 1 nF, 47,000 pF = 47 nF, 680 pF, 220,000 pF = 0.22 µF, 330 pF

E. Assignment

• Research: Find 5 capacitors at home/school and list down their codes with decoded
values.
