Well it has been sometime since our last trivia topic. We are going to change gears a little bit, so here goes! Who can tell me the resistor color code? I want to know the colors and the associated values.

Gold, Silver, or lack of specifies tolerance of 5, 10, or 20%

Take the first two colors, then multiply by 10^(third color)

I cheated and pulled out the reference book though.

I memorized it all in high school. I knew the values, knew the math.. but struggled mightily with the red, brown, black, violet stuff thanks to being color blind.

Once I came to terms with my disability (and bought a DMM) I purged that info since it didn't do me any good anyhow.

OK you guys are nearly there, but what is the value of each color???

As above, from the left to right, Black is 0, Brown is 1, Red 2, Orange 3, Yellow 4, Green 5, Blue 6, Violet 7, Grey 8, White 9.
