Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The first two bands always denote the first two digits of the resistance value in ohms. On a three or four-band resistor, the third band represents the multiplier. This multiplier will basically shift your decimal place around to change your value from mega ohms to milliohms and anywhere in between.
Detailed explanation-2: -Definitions of color bands: The color of the multiplier band represents multiples of 10, or the placement of the decimal point. For example: ORANGE (3) represents 10 to the third power or 1, 000. The tolerance indicates, in a percentage, how much a resistor can vary above or below its value.
