Surely if you know what a resistor is you'd know what it's stripes meant :thinking:

There's gonna be a lot of confused folks in this thread that's for sure!
 
Back when I did Electronics as a GCSE, we knew all the resistances by heart.

No hang on thats a rainbow.

something about "...rape our young girls but virgins go without" I think the starting couple of words might be a bit non PC these days but were to help remember black brown red orange yellow green blue violet white

I couldn't resist having a go, even though I had little clue about it (the only electrical work I can manage is fitting a 3-pin plug to a cable).

I guess a few know what a reisitor is,but would they know what the rated ohm of an individual one is?I for sure wouldnt. I suppose I could give a scenario where someone has a piece of kit which is kaput,on inspection they notice that a reisitor has popped and would like to try their hand at soldering a new one in place.But then more as like you would find cause to argue the toss about that,also where does the confusion come into it?
