Can someone identify this resistor.

Can someone identify the resistor with the grayish / silver band at the end?
Would you say its a 500 Ohm or 825 Ohm?



Thanks

Sure, 825 ohm. Why 500?

Hi.

Grey - red - green - black - brown?

You can do it on your own:
Google is your friend: "Resistor color online calculator".

I meant to say is it 825 or 10.5K?

Grey - red - green - black - brown = 825 Ohms
brown - black - green - red - Grey(or silver?) = 10.5K Ohms

So how do you know what is the correct orientation?

There is a slightly wider gap between the black and brown bands. So the beginning number is opposite end from the wider gap.

That sounds good. I just noticed that the gap is wider.

What do you think about the resister before that one? The gaps look the same to me.
That one looks to be Brown Red Yellow Red Black = 12.4K or Black Red Yellow Red Brown = 2.4K.

Sometimes it's difficult to recognize the marking direction clearly, but you should also look for plausible marking. First ring black ("leading zero") is no valid marking.

Thanks. I agree but for the resistor second from the right there should not be a black band at the end either because there is no tolerance level defined for black. So why is one of the outer bands black then and what is the value of this resistor?

The end rings are brown rather than black... I'm off.

Thanks. It was hard for me to tell the actual colors.
