Black is __. (band code)

Black is __. (band code)

• A. 1
• B. 0
• C. 2
• D. 3

Answer: (B)

In resistor color code, each color represents a number. The colors map to digits 0 through 9 in order: Black is 0, Brown is 1, Red is 2, Orange is 3, Yellow is 4, Green is 5, Blue is 6, Violet is 7, Gray is 8, and White is 9. So Black corresponds to 0. This is the value used for the digit place in the code. (Black can also act as a multiplier, where it means 10^0 = 1, but the question is about the digit value, which is 0.)
