Silver--- 10%
Gold --- 20%
For Example He given blue, red,green ,gold
then solution to resistor becomes
Blue -6
Red-- 2
green-8
gold 20%
First write two colour codes side to side
then for third color code it will be power of 10
then for 20%(if gold) multiply it with 20/100
62*(10^8)*(20/100)
in this example R=1240000000
For Above problem
23*(10^3)*(10/100)
R =2300

For colour coding, just consider first 3 colours alone. In this problem they given red, orange, orange and silver. You take first 3 colours r,o,o. Take first 2 colours.
For red - 2.
For orange - 3.
For 3rd colour take 10^x. For our problem orange has given..
So Orange - 10^3.
So Find R = 23*10^3.
V = 50.
I = V/R = 50/(23*10^3) = 0.002173A = 2.2mA.
Answer = 2.2mA.

Colour code is like BBROYGBVGW.
We used say as: BB Roy Great Britain Very Good Wife
Black---> 0 1 1
Brown---> 1 1 1 10
Red ---> 2 2 2 100
Orange -->3 3 3 1,000

Green---> 5 5 5 100,000
Blue ---> 6 6 6 1,000,000
Violet---> 7 7 10,000,000
Gray ---> 8 8 100,000,000
White --->9 9 1,000,000,000
None--->20%
Silver--->10%
Gold--->5%
SO RED is 2 orange 3 and third orange 10 to the power of that value so 10000.
So R = 23000.
as we know that v = IR.
I = V/R.
= 50/23000,
= 2.2mA.

Givent that data:
voltage source=50 V
we have to find out the resistance value:
according to COLOR CODING FOR RESISTORS
B B R O Y G B V G W
=> VALUES ARE 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
=> first 2 values are same but 3rd valus is multiple of 10 and lost word specifies the tolerance value.
i.e R=red orange orange silver(10%)
2 3 3
so, R=23*10^3
=> I=V/R
=50/23*10^3
=2.17mA
=2.2mA
voltage source=50 V

In resistor the first color mean the value first digit that
Red - 2
Orange also mean the value,
Orange - 3
but that next on Orange mean the power of 10
Orange - 10^3
that color code silver mean that with stand power of resistor +/- 10%.
u can take another one Example like
"brown Red Yellow silver" mean the resistor value is
Brown - 1
Red - 2
Yellow - 10^4
silver - +/- 10%
the Resistor value = 120 kilo ohms.
Red - 2
Orange also mean the value,
Orange - 3
but that next on Orange mean the power of 10
Orange - 10^3
that color code silver mean that with stand power of resistor +/- 10%.

Keep this as "BBROY went to Great Britain to get Very Good Wife with Gold and Silver".
Resistor values can be known by the colour band.
0 black
1 blue
2 red
3 orange
4 yellow
5 green
6 blue
7 violet
8 grey
9 white
The resistor value is given by 1st 3 bands.
Start from left most band, 3rd value is a power of 10.
Ans: red(2), orange(3), orange(10^3).
So, the value becomes 23 * 10^3.

Color code:
"Bad Boys Race Our Young Girls But Violet Generally Wins".
Black 0.
Brown 1.
Red 2.
Orange 3.
Yellow 4.
Green 5.
Blue 6.
Violet 7.
Grey 8.
White 9.
Tolerances,
~ no color = +/- 20%.
~ Silver = +/- 10%.
~ Gold = +/- 5%.
Is this not correct? Some of you have Gold at 20% and that is incorrect from my understanding.
