Resistance is futile

At times, reading the value of a resistor requires some skills, figuring out the meaning of the colored rings.

 

For example, Brown, Red, Green, Gold stands for 1, 2, 5 (5 zeroes), 10, that is: 1'200'000 Ohm or 1.2MΩ, with a tolerance of +/-10%.

 

For other parts, where place is not an issue, the value can be written in plain text.
