Select the colors of your resistor bands to decode its value
Resistors use color bands to indicate their resistance value and tolerance.
How does it work?
For a 4-band resistor:
1st & 2nd bands: First two digits of the value
3rd band: Multiplier (power of 10)
4th band: Tolerance
For a 5-band resistor:
1st, 2nd & 3rd bands: First three digits
4th band: Multiplier
5th band: Tolerance
