resistors color bands

0 = Black
1 = Brown
2 = Red
3 = Orange
4 = Yellow
5 = Green
6 = Blue
7 = Violet
8 = Gray
9 = White

20% tolarance NO color
10% tolarance Silver
5% tolarance Gold

I also learned (and now forgot) one in a college Geology class that told of the ways of "Tarleton Girls" representing Talc and Gypsym, on Mohs Hardness Scale for rocks and minerals. Anyone have a similar type ditty for that one?

Now get this: The instructor was a middle aged, Afro-American, female, at about 300#. No joke.She had boxes of chalk that were every color in the rainbow. Her name is/was Mrs. Goff. Still remember after all these years.

She was good and knew how to teach and after 40 years, I still remember how she taught us the most elememtary of electronics jargon.

The first resistor is a 470 ohm 10% tolerance reisistor.
I'm not quite clear on the second one, where is the black band?

• Resistor color codes

The one with the black band is a smooth cylinder looks like it could be a jumper.

I omhed the on with four band that needs a 470,
with a fluke 85 on auto range i get 6.0 with ohms sign to the right and 400 below it I dont know what it means but im thinking that is 6 ohms. so does that mean its bad.

I also have a yellow unit a little bigger than the resistor that say surge 85degreeC 4.7uF25V. anyway of checking this guy

Thanks

This also makes sense, since black is the color for "zero", in the resistor chart.

Also, there are tiny fuses that look like resistors.
