Question

A carbon resistor is made up of 4 colour bands: violet, grey, red and gold respectively. What is the

resistance value offered by that carbon resistor?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Mnemonics were created to easily memorize the sequence of the colors. The most popular mnemonic is "Big Boys Race Our Young Girls But Violet Generally Wins" where the first letter of each word corresponds to the first letter of the color.

If the color is found on the 3rd band for a 4-band type or the 4th band for a 5-band and 6-band type, then it's a multiplier.
