Discussion
The color bands on the body of the resistor tell how much resistance it has. As
shown in the following diagrams Fig (1), there are 5-band resistors and 4-band
resistors. Form both 5 and 4-band resistors; the last band indicates tolerance in table
(1). Consult with the "Resistor Tolerance'' in table (2) chart for finding the
tolerance value.
