is tehre a website where i can see what colours are what resisters? i have loads of resisters but i dont know what they are?

any help? :?

also is 100ohms 1k?

Your kidding right ? Here are four sites from the first page I got from a simple google search for "resistor color codes":

http://xtronics.com/kits/rcode.htm
http://www.electrician.com/resist_calc/resist_calc.htm
http://samengstrom.com/elec/resistor/
http://www.elexp.com/t_resist.htm

Search engines are our friends. Note: You may have to use the U.S. "color" instead of the standard english "colour".

Quotealso is 100ohms 1k?

Nope. 1000ohms is 1K. "K" is short for kilo which means 1000 as in 1 kilogram is a 1000 grams.

Its all cool. We all were new to this at one point. I was just lightly ribbing you.

another good tip is to use the search feature of this forum. Just about all of the questions you are likely to have are already answered in here somewhere! Just a matter of being creative with your search terms!
