The Math |
| 2.0 ohm, 5% |
BLACK = 0 |
RED = 2 |
BLACK = 100 = 1 |
GOLD = 5% |
02 x 1=2 ohms |
| 2.7 ohm, 5% |
RED = 2 |
VIOLET = 7 |
GOLD = 10-1 = .1 |
GOLD = 5% |
27 x .1=2.7 ohms |
| 39 ohms, 5% |
ORANGE = 3 |
WHITE = 9 |
BLACK = 100 = 1 |
GOLD = 5% |
39 x 1=39 ohms |
| 100 ohms, 5% |
BROWN = 1 |
BLACK = 0 |
BROWN = 101 = 10 |
GOLD = 5% |
10 x 10=100 ohms |
1.2K ohms, 5%
(1200 ohms) |
BROWN = 1 |
RED = 2 |
RED = 102 =
