Resistor colour coding

Resistor colour coding is used to indicate the values or ratings of resistors. It is also used in capacitors and
inductors. The advantage of colour coding is that essential information can be marked on small components of
cylindrical shape without the need to read tiny printing. Resistor values are always coded in ohms. Band A is the
first significant digit of component value. Band B is the second significant digit. Band C is the decimal multiplier.
Band D if present, indicates tolerance of value in percent (no colour means 20%).For example, a resistor with
bands of yellow, violet, red and gold will have first digit 4(yellow), second digit 7(violet), followed by
2(red) zeros: 4,700 ohms. Gold signifies that the tolerance is 5%. Actual resistor value = 4700 5%.

PCB Cleaning:
The soldered PCB may have contaminants that could cause trouble during the functioning
of the circuit. The contaminants include flux and chips of plastics, metals, and other materials.
Hence, the PCB must be cleaned before use. A wide range of cleaning media is
available; usually chemicals such as acetone and alcohols are used
