Remembering what I can from my Electronic Courses, the first two bands are whole numbers. Brown,Red, Red will give you 1200 or 1.2K ohms Ray ------------- >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.
