give the value of the resistor as well as other information

including the tolerance and sometimes the temperature
coefficient. The band closest to the end of the resistor body is
taken to be Band 1.In case of four color bands, the first two
bands are the significant figures of the value, the third band is
a multiplier (number of zeros) and fourth band is the
tolerance band, i.e. red black brown gold would be 2 0 x 10 +
5% or 200+5% ohms. In case of five color bands first three
bands are the significant figures of the value, the fourth band
is a multiplier and fifth band is the tolerance band. In case of
six color bands the sixth band is the temperature coefficient Figure 3: How to read the resistor
band. Following tables give the values allocated to different values through color codes
colors to find the value of a resistor through the color bands it
has on it.

The resistance value of the resistor is not the only thing to consider when selecting a resistor for
use in a circuit. The "tolerance" and the electric power ratings of the resistor are also important.
The tolerance of a resistor denotes how close it is to the actual rated resistance value. For
example, a ±5% tolerance would indicate a resistor that is within ±5% of the specified resistance
value. The power rating indicates how much power the resistor can safely tolerate. The
maximum rated power of the resistor is specified in Watts. Power is calculated using the square
of the current ( I2 ) x the resistance value ( R ) of the resistor. If the maximum rating of the
resistor is exceeded, it will become extremely hot and even burn. Resistors in electronic circuits
are typically rated 1/8W, 1/4W, and 1/2W. 1/8W is almost always used in signal circuit
applications.
