Resistor Coding
The table for the color codes of resistor bands. The first two
bands represent the significant digits, the third band is for the
multiplier, and the last band is for the tolerance. For five-band
resistors, the first three bands are the significant digits, the
fourth is the multiplier, and the last is the tolerance. For six-band
resistors, the first five bands are the same with that of five band
resistors and the last band represents the temperature
coefficient.
We are already familiar with the significant digits, multiplier and
tolerance. The relatively new concept introduced is the
temperature coefficient. Temperature coefficient is defined as
the relative change of physical property when the temperature is
changed by 1 Kelvin. It is measured in ppm/K (parts per
million/Kelvin). Ppm/K is an example of pseudo-unit to describe
small values of miscellaneous dimensionless quantities.

Resistor Coding
Here are the steps on how to read resistors. This set
of steps is basically for four-band resistors.
1.Orient the resistor. Determine the colors of the
stripes from left to right.
TIP: The first stripe is usually the one closest to the
edge.
2. The first two bands represent the two significant
digits.
3. The third band serves as the multiplier.
4. Multiply the significant digits by the multiplier.
5. The fourth band is the tolerance.

red
gold
Looking at the chart, the first color which is brown corresponds to the
number 1, black is to 0, red is 10^2, and gold signifies 5 % tolerance.

CAPACITORS
Capacitor Coding
Capacitance
This is a measure of a capacitor's ability to store charge. A large capacitance
means that more charge can be stored. Capacitance is measured in farads,
symbol F. However 1F is very large, so prefixes are used to show the smaller
values.
