Therefore, you can observe the gap between the two chromatic bands at one end of the resistor; if it’s larger than any
other band gaps, then you can read from the opposite side.
Let’s see how to read the resistance value of a 5-band resistor as shown below.
So for this resistor, the resistance should be read from left to right. The value should be in this format: 1st Band 2nd
Band 3rd Band x 10^Multiplier () and the permissible error is ±Tolerance%. So the resistance value of this resistor is
2(red) 2(red) 0(black) x 10^0(black) = 220 , and the permissible error is ± 1% (brown).
