Fixed Resistors
Resistor values are determined by their colored stripes.
The following
Resistor Color Code Calculator
allows you to specify a sequence of stripe colors and determine the value.
Note that resistors come in different accuracy grades and the ones we use may potentially be off by 5-10% from their specified values.
