The third band will indicate the multiplyer, computed as a power of 10. Black = 1 (10 to the ZERO Power = 1) Brown = 10 (10 to the First Power = 10) Red = 100 (10 to the Second Power = 100) Orange = 1,000 (10 to the Third Power = 1000) Yellow = 10,000 (10 to the Forth Power = 10000) Green = 100,000 (10 to the Fifth Power = 100000) Bule = 1,000,000 (10 to the Sixth Power = 1000000) Violet = 10,000,000 (10 to the Seventh Power = 10000000) Gray = 100,000,000 (10 to the Eighth Power = 100000000) White = 1,000,000,000 (10 to the Ninth Power = 1000000000) On a resistor with 4 color bands: 1) brown = 1 2) red = 2 3) red = 10X10=100 4) gold = 5% The value of the resistor, in OHMS, will measure in a range of 114 OHMS to 126 OHMS. It always helped me to consider the first band indicated a WHOLE number, and the second band indicated a DECIMAL. In this case: 1.2 X 100 = 120 OHMS with a 5% tolerence of the "encoded" value. -- MacNetwork is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
