RESISTORS

The bands on the resistor indicate the resistance.

Tolerance is the % of error, since it’s difficult to make something that will resist exactly the indicated ohms.
So a resistor that is Yellow, Purple, Red and Gold resists with how many ohms and what tolerance?

Create the following table…
