Tolerance = 5%.
It is typical to express the resistance value in:
k if the resistance 1,000
M if the resistance 1,000,000.
3 . 9 M 3 .9 M * 0 . 1
3.9 M 0.39 M
3.51M
3 . 9 M 3 .9 M * 0 .1
3.9 M 0.39 M
4.29 M
5-Band Resistors
For resistors with 1% or 2% tolerance,
the color code consists of 5 bands.
The template for 5-band resistors is:
1st Band = 2nd Band = 3rd Band = 4th Band = 5th Band =
1st Significant 2nd Significant 3rd Significant Multiplier Tolerance

Answer:
4-Band Resistors
1. Resistors with 5% and 10% Tolerance will have 4-bands
3. 1st digit (from left to right) of nominal value = 1st color band
27,000
Red = 2 Violet = 7 Orange = 3 10%
Example 7. Specify the color code of a resistor with nominal value
of 1.5k and a tolerance of 5%.
Solution:
1) Since resistor Tolerance = 5% it will have 4-bands.
1,500
Brown = 1 Green = 5 Red = 2 5%
