🔍 Key Concepts

• Use the color code chart in the illustration to translate each band to numbers and multiplier • Remember that for a 4‑band resistor: band 1 = first digit, band 2 = second digit, band 3 = multiplier, band 4 = tolerance • Gold and silver bands are usually tolerance, not digit or multiplier, in a 4‑band code

💭 Think About

• What two‑digit number do you get from the yellow first band and violet second band, using the table? • Once you have that two‑digit number, how does the black third band (multiplier) change it according to the chart? • Which answer choices match both the computed resistance value and a tolerance band of gold?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm the digit values for yellow and violet from the table before doing any math • Verify the multiplier value listed for a black band in the multiplier column • Check in the tolerance column what gold corresponds to, and compare that percentage to the answer choices
