Resistors are fundamental components in electronics, used to control current, divide voltage, and protect circuits. Whether you’re working with traditional through-hole resistors or modern surface-mount devices (SMDs), understanding how to identify and select the correct resistor is crucial. This guide covers everything you need to know about standard resistor values, color coding for through-hole resistors, and the markings used on SMD resistors.
