About Resistance Calculator
Resistor Color Code Calculator: For those who studies or works with electrical devices
Description:
Resistors are electronic components that oppose the flow of electricity. This app calculates the resistance (in ohms) through 4, 5 and 6 band color codes. The resistor color code is a long standing standard in both the electronics and electrical industries.
Color "bands" are used to indicate the resistance value with each color signifying a number and these color bands are grouped closer to one end of the resistor than the other.
In a typical 6 Band Resistor, the first 3 color bands indicate a number. The 4th color band indicates the multiplier or in other words the number of zeros. The fifth band indicates the tolerance of the resistor +/- 20%, 10% or 5. And the final band indicates the Temperature Co-efficient.
How it works:
1. From the main page, select 4, 5 or 6 band resistor
2. Set color for each of the bands
3. Click Compute

The colors start at brown on the first band. Yes, you cannot select black o. The 1st band.

Would be nice to see the variation in the same scale as the value. Eg M,m,k

For tolerance values, for example gold, the app shows +/- 0.5. This would actually be 50 percent instead of 5. Please fix :)
