Title : How to calculate resistivity of resister using colour code.

Colour code table

Band Colour1st Band2nd BandMultiplier xTolerance
Silver
÷ 10010%
Gold÷ 105%
Black001
Brown11101%
Red221002%
Orange331000
Yellow4410,000
Green55100,000
Blue661,000,000
Violet77
Grey88
White99



Hint for remember colour code - BB ROY Goes to Britten Visky Given by Wife ( you can also make other sentence)
Example: Band 1 = Red, Band 2 = Violet, Band 3 = Orange, Band 4 = GoldToo many zeros?
The value of this resistor would be:kilo ohms and mega
2 (Red) 7 (Violet) x1,000 (Orange)= 27 x 1,000ohms can be used:
= 27,000 with a 5% tolerance (gold)1,000 ohms =1k
= 27k ohms

Note- SILVER and GOLD for tolerance as per shown in chart similararly if 4th band is absent on resistor means its 20% tolerence (for no band)
