🔍 Key Concepts

• Resistor color code for a 4-band resistor • Role of the first two bands vs the multiplier band • Which band usually shows tolerance (often gold or silver)

💭 Think About

• In a standard 4-band resistor, what do the first and second bands represent? • After you know the first two significant figures, what information do you still need to get the full resistance value? • On most resistors, where do you usually see the gold or silver band, and what does that band indicate?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear that the first and second bands are the significant figures of the resistance value. • Remember that there is a separate band that tells you the multiplier/number of zeros. • Verify which band (usually at one end, often gold or silver) indicates tolerance, and which position that is in a 4-band code.
