   Resistor
   Passive component with a known resistance. The value of resistance is usually shown by a set of coloured bands on the body of the component.The resistor shown is coded Orange, Green, Blue with a silver tolerance band.Using the following table the resistance may be calculated from the first three bands, Orange = 3, Green = 5 and the multiplier is Bl...
