There's a interesting five color band resistor which is unique. In fact i have already seen quite a number of them. I will reveal calculation about this unique five color band resistor. The colors are orange, orange, red, gold, white. Actually it is a four color band resistor. Just ignore white color and proceed to calculate using four color band formula. As to why resistor manufacturers add this 'extra' white band i really do not know. However, from forum someone said that it is for military purposes. If you know answer i would like you to email me so that i can share with other fellow electronic repairer thru this info repairing newsletter.
