The colour bands on the resistor will tell you what value it is... I can't really tell what colour the bands are... If you tell me the colours I can give you the value of the resistor...

Follow the link below and enter the colors of the bands into the drop-down menus. This will tell you what you have there. risistor color code calculator

here you go.is the link a good resistor?

yourre all so fast ,thank you dave

I remember the colour codes by a rude/racist phrase I was taught at college... I apologise in advance if this offends anyone.

Basically it translates to; Black, Brown, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Violet, Grey, White or 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

Each band tells you the value. The first is digit one The second digit two The third is the multiplier The last is tolerance (this is slightly different to the 0-9 above and isn't that important really)

Sometimes there can be a fourth band, in which case the third becomes digit three and the fourth becomes the multiplier.

In some circumstances you may get an extra band after the tolerance too which is failure rate, it's highly unlikely you'll come across these though.

Here's the values for the colours (including tolerance) and what they mean

this is better pic.rich.its hard to see if its brown or els?

i think its 21 ohm blackx3=1 ohm brownx2 = 20 ohm so 21 ohm.?

What you gave me, I get a I00 Ohm with a 1% tolerance

yes calculating is not my best thing.what you think off the link.is that a good one?

Brown, Black, Black, Black, Brown 1, 0, 0, 0, 1

First is the first digit (1) therefore we get 1 Second is the second digit (0) therefore we get 10 Third is the third digit (0) therefore we get 100 Fourth is the multiplier (x1) so we get 100 Fifth is the tolerance therefore 1%

So it should be a 100 ohm resistor with 1% tolerance. A multimeter set to ohms will confirm this.

So Richard R is correct. You don't win anything though
