Example Blue Grey Brown

1st Colour band Blue = 6
2nd Colour band Grey = 8
3rd Colour band Brown = 1 zero
Answer = 680 

Now try these, find the value of these colours:-

a) Brown, Black, Brown
b) Red, Red, Brown
c) Yellow, Violet, Yellow
d) Orange, Orange, Red
e) Brown, Black, Red
f) Green, Blue, Yellow
= (2)
= (2)
= (2)
= (2)
= (2)
= (2)

Write in the three colours for each of these resistor values:-

g) 270 h) 18

i) 820 j) 120K
