Resistance(R) is the ability to limit current flow. Resistance is measured in Ohms. The inverse of resistance is conductance (G) and is measured in Siemens (S)
Inductance (L) is the ability of a component to induce emf when a changing current flows through it. It is measured in Henrys (H)

Non-polarised capacitors are named after the dielectric material between the plates.
RESISTOR CODING
The first two bands represent the first and second digits, respectively. They are the actual first two numbers that define the numerical value of the
resistor. The third band determines the power-of-ten multiplier for the first two digits (actually the number of zeros that follow the second digit for resistors greater than
10 Ω. The fourth band is the manufacturer’s tolerance, which is an indication of the precision by which the resistor was made. Fo r four, five, or six bands, if the tolerance is
less than 5%, the following colors are used to reflect the % tolerances: brown ±1%, red ±2%, green ±0.5%, blue ±0.25%, and violet ±0.1%.

CAPACITOR CODING
Capacitors use number coded as opposed to resistors that use colour coding. Ignore the letters.
