  • Instead of saying that you have to multiply.. you just have to add however many 0's to your first 2 numbers that the color represents.. Brown = 1 so add 1 zero to your first 2 numbers.. Red =2 so add 2 zeros to your first 2 numbers.. etc.. Might be easier? Just depends on who you are i guess.. nice video

  • good explanations

  • HELP PLEASE. I have the sets of resistors u shown 1st m this video. How can I get 1.472 OHM??

  • tnx br0

  • i have a 4.9v supply and 13 leds i need to run in circuit. which resistor should i use? in colour band order pls as ime going to salvage one from another board thnx

  • hello sir...may i ask something, what if the resistor has a 5th or 6th band... for example, the resistor has a 2 gold color bands or 1 silver and 1 gold color band after the multiplier band, what is value of the 2 bands? it is still the tolerance both of them?

  • Why didn't u mention how to calculate the tolerance to 330 ohms

  • excellent video, such a great job u've done dear

  • and now i know. i was like "how the fuck do i tell a 12000 ohm resistor from a 100 ohm resistor?"

  • @RayHagler66 lol what's the difference? im pretty sure everybody knows how to multiply by 10's unless they're retarded.

  • thanks so friggin much, REALLY NEEDED THIS FOR MY SCHOOL PROJECT D::DD::D:D <333<33<3<3 lovez kisses
